CORRECTIONS

JEFF:
Found your site after an elderly Dutch gent called from Holland today asking for information. He knew more about my family than I ever did.
I'm writing you because regrettably there are some errors. Leonard Velleman had two children,(Grace and Leo) and a third (Alex) by his second wife. If you want or need some updates, please let me know. I'm 91 and probably not likely to get much older.

Leo

deceased

You have Leonard Weil as living, which he passed away a year ago.

same roots!!!!!

will get back another time......2 much internet ..not enough sleep

van Emden/d'Emden family

Hi Jeff! I think I am also a descendant of the early van Emdens. My mother was Lois Isabel D'Emden, a descendant of Hartog van Emden, born 17 October 1791 in Amsterdam, and a direct descendant of Joseph Hartog van Emden. He served in Napoleon's army as a dental surgeon on the invasion into Russia. He changed his name to the French version - Henri d'Emden, and went to London. His son, Henri James d'Emden, migrated to Tasmania in Australia and the French version of the name was continued. I can fill you in on a lot of the Australian descendants if you wanted them. The ancestral records I have appear to be the same as what you have. - Yvonne Ebb

Family tree (Behr)

Hi Jeff,
As my ancestors at mother's side are Behr (Beer or De Beer) I would love to find out how we might be related. In my familytree the name Mozes also appears. So ... if you are interested, let me know.
Martha

The Gudema's Continue

I see the Gudema family name in your tree. There are few of us left with that last name, but we are making a slow comeback after close extinction in wwII, both here in the US and the Netherlands. Basic relationship is with Mozes Gudema, around the 1800 period. My brother and I may actually have some pre Mozes Gudema information we have been gathering for some time. We know his name changed and that he may have originally had the surname Nachum. Also in another part of this family, I believe your relative Marcus Gudema, fought against Napolean in the battle of Antwerp around 1811. I know because many years ago I saw a photo of the large silver medallion awarded to him. There is also a book, a passover hagaddah, somewhere in Holland today, that may have originally been owned by Mozes Gudema. Not sure who has it, but it has a list of family relatives in the inside cover, who attended seders with the Gudema family.

Dan Gudema

Firsel and you?

Shalom Jeff,

Could you please tell me how we are related? I looked at your family tree and couldn't find my family name.

All the best,

Lucie Hosselet is my mom and Jos Hosselet and Wies Pottger were my grandparents. Mister J verasdonk, don't know which one you are, but we probably know eachother. I spend time with your brother Sjaak. bye bye, Marie-Jos?©e

Mollie Bobrove

I came across the name Mollie Bobrove on your family list but was unable to figure out what her relationship was to you. Mollie Bobrove was my aunt, by marriage. I have passed on your website to my cousin, Eunice Mayers, who is Mollie's daughter.

hosselet

My father who is 97, told me that he knew a Jan Hosselet who lived in Indonesia, married to Wies, had 3 daughters Ria, Jose and Lucie. Jan prepared the new Lawbook for the Indonesian government (transferring the old dutch colonial laws).
Ria and Jose died in a caraccident some 40 years ago.

Hey Jeff,

I found myself on your family tree and it appears that we are 3rd cousins. We both share David Firestone as our great grandfather. Thank you so much for doing all this. I would love to know more about that side of the family so if you would be available to chat some time let me know. I would also be able to tell you about some births and deaths, etc. that can be added to some of the people closer to me. I remember Great grandpa Myer from when I was a child and also met Bettie and Herbie a few times, including once in Montreal.

Best,

Joe

I was looking around on Google for anyone with my unusual Dutch name, and came up with your website. Did you have any ancestors named Post, from Holland? I'm trying to construct a family tree, and having difficulty, since my namesake grandfather emigrated here alone about 1903.

PS: I think you have Maternal grandmother's ancestor(s) in the wrong column - at leasst the one I know. Errol
