Nope, I'm still here and still looking for my ggrandfather's roots. However, I think I might have had a little break through. I think I may have found Antonie Dieleman's father. I can't go to the cemetery until the weather gets a little drier here in Missouri. Through a distant relative I ran into right here in KC, I found a cemetery listing of the Zimmerman Cemetery in Caldwell County. There is a Nicholas M (which I believe to be for Mathew) Dieleman buried there. He passed in 1905 - I have a picture of my father resetting the head stone after it had fallen over years before. I remember it now, but had forgotten about it for a while. This could have been a brother or even an Uncle of Antonie, but I don't think so. The other thing is, my Grandfather listed his place of birth to be Fairfield, NE. I found a Peter (Pieter) Dieleman in the NEGenWeb Project on a land deed document in a Dutch Community. I am almost certain that he is connected in some way as I remember my father talking about Peter and Nicholas. Just thought you might like to know I'm still around.
