Wismer's in the USA with Dutch roots in their family



 
 
 A lot of people from the Netherlands emigrated to the USA (and Canada and a few Australian), also Wiersum's. Nowadays many people are interested in their roots. A lot of Wiersema's / Wiersum's married a husband or wife with roots in the Netherlands and sometimes in Germany. 
 
Cornelis Wiersema emigrated in 1853 together with his parents Jan Ejes Wiersema and Frouwke Boelens, and his sister Hilje (Hilda, Celia) and his brother Egge (Oscar) to Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, USA. They were so poor in the Netherlands that they emigrated to the USA for a better life. In the USA, Jan Ejes Wiersema and Frouwke Boelens had 6 more children, of whom Klaas died young (at the age of 4). The children's surname became corrupted to Wismer in the USA. The names Wiersema and Wismer appear interchangeably. See also page "Bijzondere Wiersema's - Family Wismer - USA"
 
Two children (Gradie en Jennie) of Jan Wismer and Janna Hilbelink continued to live with the surname Wiersma. I have indicated Wiersma in the overview below.  
                                       
 
George Weaver (1859-1933),
Clara Wismer (1866-1952) 
and their children.
 
On this site you will find the ancestors of the husband or wife of a Wismer, with their roots primarily in Groningen.

The Wismer's stand on the alphabetical order by first name. Click on the blue name and you will see the pedigree. I realize the family overviews are not complete. They are only meant to give a global overview. I have not checked all the data in the archives. 

If you don't find your family name, while she or he was married with a Wismer, please mail me and I'll try to find your ancestors.
