I have been learning more about my Hendricks line and though my Hendricks family came to America straight to Illinois, it is apparent that they were from Ostfriesland in Germany alongside the Netherlands. In researching my Wilcox line in Rensselaer I have noticed many Hendricks and Hendrickse that I dismissed before. Now I am wondering if anybody out there is familiar with the Hendrickse family. Were they Dutch Reform? Does anybody know where I could start living in Illinois? Scott Hendricks
