Ben,
Kryn Breen was my great grandmother's brother.I am sure that I have several pictures of him as my mother has my great grandmother's albums.However, I am not sure what he looked like.Do you have a known picture of Kryn that I can compare to my album?My great grandmother had LOTS of pictures.My mother remembers Uncle Kryn and Aunt Jessie.Jessie was Jessie Bouman before she married Kryn and was the daughter of Bastiaan Bouman and Clara DeWeerd.I know that your grandfather was one of their 12 children.In fact, Iam Facebook friends with one of your cousins who descends from Paul's sister, Clara Breen Selvius Dyksterhouse.As far as Paul is concerned, I know that he passed on March 6, 1971 and was married to Marjorie Corbett.He is buried out in Washington Park Cemetery. I have the ancestry of the Breen family traced back to the 1600's.They immigrated from Ouddorp, Zuid Holland, Netherlands.Our common ancestors are Paul Breen and Maria Oostdijk who are mygr gr grandparents and your gr gr grandparents.This means that we are3rd cousins.I would love to get in touch and share information.Please feel free to drop me a line at [email protected] look forward to hearing from you.
