Posted on: Ottawa Co., Michigan Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mi/Ottawa/872 Surname: Vanderheide ------------------------- There are plenty of related Vanderheide's in Michigan, especially the Northern region where the brothers of Drachten-area (the Netherlands) born Jacob van der Heide (he died and was buried in Saugatuck, MI. but his wife and family later settled in Atwoord/Ellsworth area ) joined the family, all before 1900. The brothers were John, Roelof and Albert, a brother-in-law was Henry Heeres (from Smilde/Ommen). Nephews Meine and Berend van der Heide (from Dedemsvaart/Hardenberg)joined the clan there as well. If you can fit Cornelia into this clan, I probably could help you.
