- Subj: Martin Weyenberg Date: 6/19/2001 2:33:20 PM Pacific Daylight Ti me om: helbers.ch@zonnet.nl (helbers)Hello Jay,Finally I have some news to share with you.And instead of solvi ng things, I am afraid, I am making more troubles.From Willem Keeris (an a uthority on Dutch emigrants to America, here inHolland) I received some in formation.I think I told you before, that I would try to call in his hel p, because wewere stuck.I explained our problems with Martin to him, and t old him, I wasn't sure,that you and I were talking about the same Martin .I also called in his help, because I am still searching for the descent o fDaniel Weyenberg (who married Rosa Coenen, I don't know if I shared thisp roblem with you before). Because Willem has excess to lots of Dutchemigra nt files, and does this for his living, he is able to do much betterresear ch than you or me could ever do.He told me, that he searched for Daniel 's parents, and found them.At this moment, he could tell that Daniel's fat her was Mathijs vanWeyenberg, born march 15 1811 in Maashees, Mathijs w as married to MariaThijssen, who died in 1864 in Beugen. At this momen t, we cannot connectthem to our family, because these Weyenberg's came fr om Ottersum, and ourfamily doesn't.That doesn't mean we cannot be relate d, but that's something the futurewill tell us.That left our Martin-problem.As you sent Willem an obituary from Martin, y ou must have heard fromWillem, that the dates didn't match. Willem pick ed the date from theobituary and did some research on it.You never know wh at happened.As he searched the descent from Daniel Weyenberg, he found h is parents;Mathijs van Weyenberg and Maria Thijssen. Besided Daniel they h ad anotherson; Martinus van Weyenberg. Guess when he was born...... July 9, 1849 inB eugen.This must be your Martin!!!!Martin is Daniel's brother!!That must also be the reason I could not place Daniel, just like I couldn' tplace Martin. They probably don't belong to my family, but do belongtoget her.That also measn that my Martin isn't your Martin, so I will leave my f ilesthe way they were, but you were right on another point.Frank Noie is a bsolutely your family. I connected him to the wrong Petronella.Well, Ja y, this is some stuff to think about.I am very interested to know what you think of this all.From a descende nt of Daniel, I have a file from Daniel and all hisdescendants.If you want to contact this descendant, (because you are related to him)l et me know. I will give you all the information I have.I hope you will l et me know soon, because I am very interested to know yourcomment.If a ll of this is right, I hope we will not loose contact, because I dohave a lot of information about all sorts of Weyenberg's who I cannotplac e. Maybe there is information in in for you!And maybe we will make the con nection, if you are able to find out moreabout Mathijs and Maria Thijssen. Well, Jay, hope to hear from you soon, greetings, Tilly.
