I haven't researched any Dutch records yet. I do, however, have a Dutch friend so I'm hoping he will help me if I need some translating!  Naming conventions seem to be similar to Norwegian with a patronymic followed by a place name in many cases (no last names....in the US the place name sometimes became the Norwegian last name, but sometimes the patronymic became the last name...unfortunately).  And, of course, no consistant spelling that early!

Can anyone help me find the death information on Bouchina (Bouchiena Karels) Westerling?  She was married to Jan Edes Bos in 1839 and born in 1819 in Zuidbroek.  Thank you for your time.  I've looked in Allegroningers but haven't found anything.

Lisa - In that time period about 80% of the children in orphanages were half-orphans. Raising kids basically took two parents. Work days were often 10-12 hours long so a man couldn't work and raise the kids.

Good enough for me! Hope you are able to find out more. I did a quick scan, but nothing is mentioned in the local (or national) dutch papers at the time of her death.

Oh my!!! Of all places, I should have looked there first.  I immediately went to the Dutch sites but found them really confusing. Lesson learned. Thank you VERY much!!!  You're my genealogy hero of the day! :)

and here's the link to her registration of death in the Leiden archives: record no. 751, death registration of Aafke Bijlsma

Hi Lisa,

I found her death certificate of FamilySearch, as part of the marriage supplements for the marriage of her daughter Annetta in 1924. According to the certificate, she died in Leiden on 17 Oct 1916. Here's the link to the image on FS: Death certificate Aafke Bijlsma

Hello Everyone! My Grandmother is a WWII war bride from Amsterdam.  My Grandfather was a Canadian Soldier, they married near the end of the war and she came over to Toronto.  I'm researching the Hoogland, van der Mee, and Bijlsma lines.

My grandmother is now 87, and she has asked me to find out what I can about her grandmother.  She died and for some reason (perhaps it was normal then) the children, except for the oldest daughter, were taken out of the fathers care and they were all sent to a Catholic Orphanage.  I have not been able to find anything about the death of their mother, she doesn't seem to be anywhere online and would love any suggestions.  My Nanny really wants to know what happened to her grandmother, how she died and exactly when.  The children were never told.  They all had contact with their father while in the orphanage, but he wouldn't talk about it with them.

My GG Grandmothers info is as follows...

Aafke Bijlsma b. 28 Jan 1871 in Grouw, Friesland d. unknown

Her parents were...

Jacobus Tjittes Bijlsma b. abt 1842

Aafke Jelgers Bijlsma b. 13 Jan 1841 Grouw, Idaarderadeel

(They were cousins)

Her Husband was...

Johannes van der Mee b. 2 Nov 1870, Leiderdorp d. 3 Feb 1932

They had 5 children, my Great Grandmother was born Nov 30th,1900 in Leiden.

Where should I look first considering I do not speak Dutch?  Any suggestions would be great.  I would love to figure this out for her.

Thanks,

Lisa
