Rather than land in New York City, the captain chose to land in Halifax, for medical assistance. Many died there of the disease, including Klaas Vlaming. For more information, see the book, "On Board The SS England", by Loren Lemmen (https://vandekrol.org/histories/Book13-5thEdition-bewerkt-2.pdf). The story told here is quite interesting, and well worth the read. ...

Recently, I saw your comments on Chris's blog. He and I agreed that I be the one to contact you. Within the next two days, I will send an email to the address you gave in your first comment. I looked at your website and am impressed with the work you have done on the house.

I know he was born in 1858, and moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan. Hubregt was Americanized to Herbert, as I'm sure you know.<br />In my family line, Hubregts son Peter, had a son Robert, who was my grandfather. Maybe you've already traced ourline. <br />Anyway your blog is very informative, keep up the good work.<br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889458696014207400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779031278576506786.post-19533815773425541282019-04-25T10:32:51.421-07:002019-04-25T10:32:51.421-07:00An H.

My people were in that old Walker Township, too: Leonard, Alpine, Turner, White avenues/streets. I have old photos of the Valks in front of their house and barn on Leonard Street that look a lot like your photos. It was obviously a rural area at that time. Most of my people from that time period were buried in Greenwood Cemetery, too.

Please see our website (http://walvisvaardershuisjetexel.nl/uk/welcome.htm) for more information about the Daalder family and the house they lived in 300 years ago. They were successful whalers based on the Dutch island of Texel and they used the bible as a family registry in the 18th century. We’d love to add some more information about the bible to the house’s collection and we’d be happy to share our knowledge about the Daalder family with you.<br /><br />We’d love to hear from you.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />Annetje<br />(member of the foundation for the preservation of the whalers house)Walvisvaarders Huisjehttp://walvisvaardershuisjetexel.nl/uk/welcome.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8779031278576506786.post-17284091333699656042019-03-23T03:52:19.393-07:002019-03-23T03:52:19.393-07:00I took a peek and I have Edwin in my tree and I fo...I took a peek and I have Edwin in my tree and I followed his descendants down and find Blaine and Arthur Mancier but I don't have any descendant information.
