I am hoping that one of you might have the informati on I seek, or perhaps direct me to a source I've overlooked. My great-gre at grandfather John/Jan Vandenberg was born in Berlicum, Noord Braba nt on 17 JUN 1833. He emigrated in 1858, and worked constructing a railr oad track. He died in Little Chute, Outagamie County, Wisconsin on 14 A PR 1901; According to family records he had siblings:
Peter Vandenberg
Maria Vandenberg
Elizabeth Vandenberg
Arnoldine (married a Kastelijn)
Henrietta (married a Van Duel or Van Diel or Van Diehl).Family records indicate that there had been correspondence with relativ es named Tibosch until the beginning of World War II. I am wondering if t he Hendrika KASTELIJN who married Wilhelmus TIBOSCH about 1888 mig ht be a daughter of Arnoldine Vandenberg Kastelijn. I would like to learn about the parents and/or grandparents of John/J an Vandenberg..The wife of John/Jan Vandenberg was Anna Maria VANDENBERGH, b. ABT 18 26 in Berlicum, Nordbrabant, Holland, to Johannes VANDENBERGH (probab ly b. 17 APR 1790 in Berlicum) and Catherine VOETS, (probably b 30 May 1 791 in Schijndel).Johannes VANDENBERGH and Catharine VOETS were married 20 FEB 1824 in Berli cum. Anna Maria had one brother Henry J. VANDENBERG., b. 12 DEC 1824 in Berlic um, who also emigrated to Wisconsin.The parents of Johannes VANDENBERGH are listed as Hendricus Vandenberg/Va ndenbergh, b. BEF 1772, and Geertruijda van Helvoort, b. 1772.The parents of Catharina VOETS were listed as Antonij VOETS, b. BEF 1773 a nd Antonia vanden Bogaert, b. BEF 1773.Please suggest any other sources, links, corrections, or information. Tha nk you. Mary Awantang
