Markus:

It is probably a long shot, but I wonder if there is a connection between your
Anna Catharina GORKUM and the VAN GORK(C)UM'S in my ancestry, who were also
from Friesland.

My gg grandmother
Joukje Hendriks van Gorkum
b April 17, 1828 in Arum, Friesland
m Reinder Fokkema

My ggg grandfather
Hendrik Durks van Gorkum
b March 11, 1790 in Arum, Friesland
d July 4, 1848 in Sneek, Friesland
m Folkertje Wiepkes van Popta

My gggg grandfather
Dirk Hendriks van Gorkum
b abt 1766 in Sneek, Friesland
d August 19, 1831 in Sneek, Friesland
m Janke Willems

My ggggg grandfather
Hendrik van Gorcum
m Sytske Posma

These are all on my mother's Frisian side. My father's side (Jacobs) all came
from Grafschaft Bentheim. I don't see any names that you are researching that
match mine, so this may be another long shot. The "Graafschapers" I am
researching include JACOBS, GOSSELING, KAPPELHOFF, GOMMER, BREMMER,
HINDRIKSEN, DOBBEN, BEKVOORT, ARENS (ARENDS), WOLTERS, TYINK, BODEN, PIERS,
VELDHUIS, KLEINE-WIEGERINK, LAMBERS, WARRINK, and TIMMER.
