Jacob,

With all the variety of spellings, it is amazing but there is not one Focken
or any related name in the book. Sorry.

As far as Groningen is concerned you may be able to help.

I am looking for living descendants of Willem Wage and Martje Wientjes (b.
1849). She is a twin of my great grandmother. My ggrandmother immigrated,
but Martje did not. I will be traveling on the OSTF tour in June and would
love to connect with some relatives.

I will send more information to you directly. Thanks.

Jill

Hello Jill,

Thank you very much! It looks very likely that this is the father of Greetje
Wurps because
she had sons Wurp and Geerd.

Aalderk and Alrich are in most cases interchangeable. It could be that his
son Folkert
Aalderks at that time already was living by himself. He may have been
previously
married. Could you see if he is listed by himself?

If you ever need help in the province Groningen (Netherlands) area just let
me know and
I'll try to do my best.


Groeten,
