Hi Robert,
This is the information I have about Adriana Wellens. Adriana also called herself Dina, Ardina, and one record showed Hubertina. According to census records and her death record, she was born June 24, 1863 in Heesch. Her parents were Adrian Wellens and Maria Vande Wyngaard. I believe I found the date they arrived in New York, and the ship they sailed. I found (as a family), Adrian Wellens, Maria Vn wyngaard, Theod. Wellens, and Dina Wellens departed from Rotterdam on a ship named Schiedam. They arived in New York April 1, 1884. (Maria must have used her maiden name on the ship list, even though she was married to Adrian Wellens).
John/Joannes Lammers/Lamers was born about 1848 in Schaijk. His father was Theodore Lammers/Lamers. His mother's first name was Martina. The handwriting for Martina's maiden name is not very good. It looks like it is written as Onwers? or Ourvers?
I haven't been able to find John's death record to try to verify the spelling of his mother's maiden name. I also haven't found any indication that Theodore and Martina ever came to the U.S.
