Adriaan Heukers/Hooker Iowa, IL 1900's
a Dutch man requests I help him find some American immigrants. This is his query to me.
>I've been looking myself for some time now for relatives of mine who went from The Netherlands to the States in 1887. This concerns Adriaan Heukers (born 5 nov 1867 in Nieuwe Pekela) and his brother Frederik Heukers (born 4 sep 1850 in Nieuwe Pekela). I traced their residence around 1900 through a will. Adriaan lives in
Pella (Iowa) at that time. He married April Mabla (born in 1872 in Ohio) in 1893 in Illinois. Adriaan Heukers supposedly changed his name into Hooker and possibly he is a lawyer. around 1900 they have three children (of whom I have a picture):
Marie Cecilia, born sep 1893 in Illinois,
Edward, born oct 1894 in Illinois, Anna, born oct 1895 in Iowa.
So far this is all the information I've got. Of Frederik Heukers I only know that he lived in Baltimore around 1900. I've tried allmost
everything.
I really hope that you can help me along on this. I'm grateful for anything you can dig up.
contact me (Cornelia) if you have information, he isn't on line.
I've checked all the standard surname indexes on line, came up pretty much empty handed. any help greatly appreciated by both of us.
