Syvand,
I have Josie(Jaaptke or Jacoba) Van Der Kooi who married Johannes Bussema(11/22/1839) in my line. They had Van Der Molen(Albert) and Smit(Arnold) in their line. Was wondering if that is the same lines you have, if so, wondering if you were able to figure out if Josie Van Der Kooi and Johannes Bussema first son(Johannes 1/16/1865) father information. He was born about a month before they got married. On genlias search says that Josie had 1 legimate Child and groom not recognized by mother. http://www.genlias.nl/nl/searchDetail.jsp?val=0&xtr=1158...

I'm trying to figure out who Johannes Sr parents were. It lists his mother as Helena Bussema and father as Unknown. There is only one another listing of Helena. Listing as mother of Maria Hermanna van Waes(born 18 months before Johannes Sr) who's father is Johannes van Waes

I am trying to get solid evidence to link both Helena as the same person. And if they are the same person, is Johannes Bussema Sr the son of Van Waes or someone else. Thanks for anything you could provide.
