I am looking what happened to the brother of my grandfather JAN SPEELMAN. My grandfather's name is Hendrik Speelman.
Jan was born in Gasselterboerveen, (Gasselte), Drenthe, the Netherlands on 19 October 1866.
His father was Jacob Speelman, his mother Hindrikien Pepping.
Jan Speelman left the Netherlands by the boat "Veendam" from Rotterdam on 7 feb. 1893 and arrived in America a few weeks later.
The Genealogy page of the province of Drenthe mentions that he settled in Hospers, Iowa.
But in Ancestry-com I also found a Jan Speelman in Lynn, Sioux, Iowa.
I would be very interested to know what happened to him in America, whether he got married, children, where and when he died and whether there are still descendants of him.
I write in English as I suppose Dutch is not widely spoken/understood anymore?
vriendelijke groeten/kind regards,
Giny Speelman
the Netherlands
