My Zeeuws Vlaanderen ancestors begin with the line of my great grandmother, Hannah Crouse/Kroes, whose parents came to the USA in October of 1860 from Schoondijke, Zeeland, Netherlands. Her surname was spelled KROES in the Netherlands, but here in the USA it became CROUSE, and sometimes KRUSE.
For additonal information regarding these ancestors, their children and spouses, please check my Index of Persons. There are other children whom I have added since the last update shown on the Index of Persons.
Pieter Kroes and Pieternella (Nellie) Jongman settled in the town of Ellenville, Ulster County, New York, as did Pieternella's brother, Jan Adriaan Jongman. The Jongman name was spelled YONKMAN in the USA. After researching emigration records, I have discovered that a number of my VAN MALE, FAAS, and GERNAERT cousins settled in the USA as well, probably around Rochester, New York. There were BUTEYN cousins, also, who settled in the USA, and possibly other ancestral lines as well.
