Hi Roz,

I sent you a private message about the www.graftombe.nl website yesterday. Did you receive this ?

Kind regards,

Sylvia

There are also surnames Westra, De Boer, Haarsma coming down the female lines. If only women kept their own names!!! 

The Meyer is a Wiebe Meyer who married into the family.

I am looking forward to the trip and a highlight will be a trip to the Leeuwarden Museum to see what I can find.

I apologise for sending a message regarding my research on the descendents of Tjeerd Jacob Vellinga to all members, I was intending to post it as a comment but am not familiar with the site and used the wrong connection.

I am sorry if this has created annoyance.

Thanks Sylvia! That is very interesting. I actually read about that today, while visiting Pilgrims Hall, Plymouth Rock and some other historical sites in Massachusetts. We read that Henry Hudson was set adrift with his son and some other crew on the sea and was never seen again. Very interesting and a great piece of information, Greetings from Plymouth.
