Hi,
I am new to this list and I am looking for Dutch Ancestors in Michigan.
I'm looking for Henry Van Werven born 21 Mar 1850 Holland his wife Nancy Northouse
born 22 Oct 1857 Grandhaven, Ottawa, Michigan. Her parents were born in Holland. They had
a daughter Joanna Henrrietta Van Werven, born 26 Apr 1881 also in Grandhaven. They may
have had a son named Niel and Nancy may have had a brother named Niel. Nancy and Henry
married about 1880.
I have checked everywhere I can think of, and I am at a complete loss as to where to look.
I would like more information on Nancy and Henry as well as who there parents are. I
don't know when they came over from Holland.
Since they are Dutch, is there a record of Dutch immigration to Michigan? Is there anyone
who knows more about the Dutch in Michigan? Or maybe a distant relation who knows????
Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Barbara Ann Phillips
