Hi Bonnie,

They had eight children

I have other information, but I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for.I hope that this helps!My Oonks are also from Winterswijk, Netherlands.
My great great grandmother is named Berendina Oonk and was married to Derk Ten Cate.They lived in Holland, Michigan.Berendina died of asthma in her 30's.Their eldest daughter, Gezina Ten Cate married John Deur.Hendrika Deur's brother!Interesting, huh??
