  Immigration	According to the records of the archives of Meerlo-Wanssum, Hubertus Lambertus Bercken, farmer of profession, left his native village Swolgen together with some of his children on April 1870 for "Grimbaai Noord Am." = Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Officialy they left in March/April 1870, however according to John Smith (also born in Swolgen), correspondent in Depere of the "Venloosche Courant", a newspaper, these emigrants left Limburg by boat on December 4 1870 and arrived in Depere December 24. In his letter of January 8 1871 to that newspaper, published February 4, he also mentioned that the day after the arrival of this newcomers (must be December 25) marriages were announced between some of the travellers. One couple was Leonard Berken and Catharina Rijswijk from Wellerloy (a village on the other side of the river Meuse, a few miles east of Swolgen). Conclusion: Leonard Berken and Catharina Rijswijk travelled together indeed and married soon after their arrival in Depere, most likely in January 1871. Jan. H. Hanssen, Baarlo
