Daniel VanSweden and Edna deWit-VanSweden of Sand Lake, MI

The are looking for current information on the VanSweden-deWit family lineages. On Dan's father's side of the family "The VanSweden-Verkerke" ancestry was researched in 1977 by John and Alice DeWitte of Fullerton, California. Any current updates would be greatly appreciated.

On Dan's maternal lineage we have the records of Virginia Staal and Anna Blok which were published in 1987 and, although they have updated it annually, I have missed many of the updates so any information on VanderWaal-Kranendonk (including the descendents of Adriana Cornelia Kranendonk and Leendert denHoed and Lijntje Anna Marie Kranendonk and Arie Plaisier (Plaiser), would be appreciated.

The Hoogendoorn-deWit lines have recently been researched by Sylvia Fluit of Rock Valley, Iowa, and I have ordered a copy of her final report.

Edna's grandmother, Marrigje VandenToorn, has been researched by Marvin VandenToorn of Grand Rapids, Michigan. This was printed in 1992 so updates are most welcome!

Edna's maternal lineage VanGinkel-VanDonkelaar was not been researched (to the best of my knowledge). We are looking for descendents of Evert VanGinkel and Geertje VanDonkelaar who last resided at Rock Valley, Iowa. I would like information on how the families of Harthoorn, Faber, Kris Jannsen(DeZeeuw)and Kempema were related. Any information on the siblings of Geertje VanDonkelaar would also be appreciated.

Please email any information which you would like to submit to the respective Family Trees to devsw@cmedic.net. Thank you.
