He was named after his maternal grandfather, Tjeerd Jans Bosma. Exactly a year later, on his first birthday, October 15, 1874 his mother, the 27 years old seamstress (naaister) Klaaske Tjeerds Bosma, married in Menaldum the one year younger laborer Jacobus Dijkstra, who legitimized at the same time Klaaske's son Tjeerd.
On October 15 1882, his brother Jan was born in Menaldum, and on July 30, 1886 sister Jantje (called Jennie in the US). On August 1, 1886 his brother Jan Dijkstra died in Menaldum, at the age of 3 years.

On October 5, 1893 Tjeird J. Dykstra (20 years old, no occupation) arrived without any relative on the S.S. Veendam, which departed from Plymouth, England, at the port of New York, Ellis Island.

Groover Dykstra died in LaMoille and he was raised in Marshalltown by his grandparents Eli Groover (1835-1922, Iowa) and Elizabeth N. Campbell (1848-1923, Iowa).

On June 16, 1903 Charles Dykstra remarried in Jasper County, Iowa the 10 years younger Elizabeth (Lizzie) Moes, who was born in the Dutch province Groningen. In 1905 Charley Dykstra (31, farmer) was living with his wife Elizabeth, their daughter Jennie and his parents at a rented farm in rural Richland Township. In April 1910 Charley Dykstra (36, farmer), his wife Elizabeth (27), their children Jennie (6, Iowa), Bert (5, Iowa), Cobe (3, Oklahoma), Clare (1, Iowa) and Dora (2 months, Iowa were -still- living at a rented farm in Richland Township, Jasper County, Iowa.
