My name is Thijs Westplate, 64 years, living in The Netherlands, since 1960 working on our Dutch family tree. Have some questions about an Adrian Westplate, serving as Union soldier during the "Civil War" Also some questions about a William Westplate, born on 20 October 1859, Manhattan, New York, New York. Before I present all the known details, I like to find out if some one can help me with those questions. Thanks in advance. Thijs Westplate

Thijs, By any chance do you mean Westphaal?

Hi, Jennifer. Thanks for responding to my mail. No, the name Westphal or Westphaal is not the correct one. So far I have found relatives with the following name spelling; Westplate, Wesplate, Westplaate, Westplaete, Westplat. Kind regards.
