Hello Everyone! My Grandmother is a WWII war bride from Amsterdam. My Grandfather was a Canadian Soldier, they married near the end of the war and she came over to Toronto. I'm researching the Hoogland, van der Mee, and Bijlsma lines.
My grandmother is now 87, and she has asked me to find out what I can about her grandmother. She died and for some reason (perhaps it was normal then) the children, except for the oldest daughter, were taken out of the fathers care and
they were all sent to a Catholic Orphanage. I have not been able to find anything about the death of their mother, she doesn't seem to be anywhere online and would love any suggestions. My Nanny really wants to know what happened to her
grandmother, how she died and exactly when. The children were never told. They all had contact with their father while in the orphanage, but he wouldn't talk about it with them.
My GG Grandmothers info is as follows...
Aafke Bijlsma b. 28 Jan 1871 in Grouw, Friesland d. unknown
Her parents were...
Jacobus Tjittes Bijlsma b. abt 1842
Aafke Jelgers Bijlsma b. 13 Jan 1841 Grouw, Idaarderadeel
(They were cousins)
Her Husband was...
Johannes van der Mee b. 2 Nov 1870, Leiderdorp d. 3 Feb 1932
They had 5 children, my Great Grandmother was born Nov 30th,1900 in Leiden.
Where should I look first considering I do not speak Dutch? Any suggestions would be great. I would love to figure this out for her.
Thanks,
Zij is getrouwd met Rijk Hoogland.
Zij zijn getrouwd op 6 maart 1924 te Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Nederland, zij was toen 23 jaar oud.
