Hi Donna, Thank you for visiting our brand-new HOAGLAND website, and for your warm comments! Sorry to disappoint you that I don't have much STRYKER info posted yet, just the following (in case you missed it): Maria HOAGLAND's ancestors: Jan Gerritse STRYCKER: http://www.stipak.com/hoagland/maria/bios/3.HTM#P3051 and 2 of his daughters: Sarah STRYCKER: http://www.stipak.com/hoagland/maria/bios/2.HTM#P6129 and Eytie STRYCKER: http://www.stipak.com/hoagland/maria/bios/2.HTM#P6021 and also, on our adjacent HAGEMAN family website, two of John D. and Maria Hoagland STRYKER's daughters: Aletta "Althea" Quick STRYKER http://www.stipak.com/hageman/williambrown/RR01/RR01_001.HTM#P4130B and Magdalena Voorhees STRYKER http://www.stipak.com/hageman/williambrown/RR01/RR01_001.HTM#P4130C along with hundreds of their descendants, including me, not named STRYKER since we are maternal STRYKER descendants. This particular website report I announced today is on Maria HOAGLAND's ancestors, not on her husband John D. STRYKER's. However, I will be posting an attached website sometime in the near future, hopefully before Christmas, on "The Ancestors of John D. STRYKER." Thanks again, Alice >Alice-- > >Thanks for writing regarding Stryker. I briefly looked at your site & it is >well-organized, attractive & easy to get around in.
