    3. I find my Great Grandmother, Seffinga, Polly buried at Rosehill with the information saying Seffinga Polly 2 16 1899 29 f. I am given to understand that a son, stillborn ? was born at that time? but don't find an infant Seffinga burial there in the archives records. Polly born Holland was born a Terpstra. There are also some early Hansen and Rasmussen burials. How do I find later burials for this cemetery? I am told that Hans Hansen and wife Marie Christerson Hansen are also buried at this cemetery. They would probably have died after 1909 or 1910. How far after I don't know. Michael Seffinga, husband of Polly (found in 1900 as Michel Sefenga Holland as a boarder in the Frank Waldo household) and one son of Michael, George is found in Bon Homme County as Georg Seffingar or Seffinger Nephew age 9 Holland with a Herman Vanantte or Vanzante b. Iowa w/ parents b. Holland ? not sure really what that name is, wife Clarra or Clorra born Holland , Anna, a son ??ily? and a daughter ?i?t?nde, Clara A? D? the kids are born Iowa other than the youngest Clara born SD but I haven't found Polly and Michael's youngest son Aerndt John Seffinga by any spelling. Hansen's are Michael's second wife's parents. They had immigrated from Denmark and are said to have homesteaded in Viborg SD along the Vermillion River. Jens Hansen, Lillie Hansen Edwardson, Minnie Hansen Rassmuson, Albert Hansen, Harold Hansen, Tara or Sara Hansen Rassmuson, Mary Hansen Seffinga and there was one son said to have died young that is buried in Viborg. I did find Mary the daughter as Mary Hanson servant b. Denmark with 1 child, Agnes H? Hanson in SD, Turner who shows in 1910 Iowa census as Agnes Mikelson (?) age 11, Stepdaughter to Michael along with Michael, Mary and the other children. Agnes is said to be born S. Dakota Mar 1899, is 1 in the 1900 with both parents born Denmark and her mother in the census is Hanson Mary A 1879 July 20 Denmark. The middle initial for Agnes looks like H. to me? I have found what could be Mary's brother Jens spelled Hansen and also brother Harold, spelled Hansen, have not found others that look right as the siblings of Mary. Looking for anything that might further our knowledge of these families. Regards, Barb Drummer
