Hello Frans,
I am so appreciative of your website, since knowing about my Dutch ancestry has been a lifelong interest for me. I am a descendant of John Aardappel who married Alice Wiersema in Lafayette,Indiana. Their oldest son George, was my grandfather. He was married to Anna Klount, who was a twin. She and her sister Jennie were the youngest children born to Jakob Klount and Pietje Wilstra. They had an older sister named Nellie, and their oldest siblings were Garret and Freida. I am going to be in the Netherlands next month (August) with my husband and two of our daughters. We are going to Friesland and Groningen to specifically see the areas where my (and my daughter's) Dutch ancestors lived for so many generations. Any chance of meeting up?

Hi Frans,

I laughed when I saw the picture you have of the Henry Klaasens Wiersema family on the Introduction page. It's of my grandmother's family, she is second from the left in the back row. I'm sitting at my home looking at the exact same portrait in a 14 x 18 inch frame, original to the portrait. Oh my, small world. I thought you might find this interesting. Blessings to you for finding all of us.

Dear Frans, This is my first visit to your website. There is so much information here and I am very impressed with all your work. My father is Stephen Wiersema of Holland, MI originally from Fulton, IL. His father is David Wiersema. My sister has done work on our family tree and I will make that information available to you. Happy Holidays to all Wiersemas everywhere
