Debbie's Cousin Jan Boelhouwer emails her from the Netherlands.

Dear Debbie and Dan,
    Sorry I have been late with my reaction, but 10 days ill. My name is Jan Boelhouwer, Born in Vlissingen. My parents are Jan Boelhouwer and Debora Pieternella Roelse.

    My grandmother's (Josina Bijleveld) first husband died in 1902, and their child Lambrecht died in 1904 at two years old. She married my grandfather Jan Roelse and they had four children, Frederik, Debora Pieternella (My mother), Pieter and Crina. In my family nearly everyone is gone.

     But it is very good to hear from you. At this moment I am trying in Amsterdam Archive to find out who are the parents of our Grand Grand Grandfather Coenraad Bato Bijleved.

     Dan, Maybe the site http://www.zeeuwengezocht.nl  is very interesting!  Debbie I have found some old photos of our family; only one from "Tante To" and her children Chris and Debora in Dordrecht. Bora sends me every year a Christmas card, but I lost their address.

     I hope to hear soon from you!!!

Regards, Love, Jan.
