This morning I got the idea of putting in a friend’s name on ancestry.com and familysearch.org. Lo and behold – my friend has Dutch ancestry – like me- only she is pure Dutch! Can’t wait to chat with her later today! I don’t think she knows, otherwise she would have mentioned it when I said my mother’s side was Dutch. How wonderful to help someone find their roots! (Of course, I may be totally off here, but the name is not common – even in the Netherlands. I will let you know.
