Hi Ben,

Thank you for your posts. They are most helpful in our search.

Have you been able to sight Marie Geertsema's birth certificate?

Have you any sources for her parents?

kind regards

Lydia

Birth certificate: see my reaction Ben Wegman - 14 nov 2024 - 17:14   Not on-line available.

"Have you any sources for her parents?"

No. See reaction -Bart- - 14 nov 2024 - 12:50

To be sure you have to look at the official documents (marriage contract, birth certificate) available on film of FS as explained earlier.

If Geert Geertsema is her father than the militairy information gives you his parents and the name of his wife (as confirmation).

"Marie Geertsema was born 1888"

without any official document also 1886 can be correct. (also there is some variation in the place where she was born: Batavia or Medan)

kind regards, Ben

@Lydia Olsen: It is indeed strange that Maria indicated in her application for remigration that she was born 21-10-1888 n Medan,  but according to Regerings Almanak no birth of  Marie or Maria Geertsema was recorded in 1888 in Medan.

Here is  page 309 of Regerings Almanak 1892 where  the birth of Maria Geertsema in 1886 in Batavia is recorded:

                                                                           But if you prefer to keep it in 1888, feel free to do so...

May be the marriage certificate can be given the answer. I believe 1886 in Medan will be correct.

Kind regards, Ben
