They have been married in the U.S.A. because Folkert has been in the U.S.A. 16 years & has been married 14 yrs. A son, Folkert, born Nov 1878 in Germany has been in the U.S.A. 16 years.

If Folkert's first wife, Janna Troff Groen died during emmigration at Baltimore city, Maryland, then the date of 1895 for his emmigration does not compute. The year 1885 would seem more compatible - D.A. Navorska - Irving, Texas - xv Nov MMX
