Just happened to be looking up some information when I seen this posting. Hope it connents with you at this late date. I am thee oldest granddaughter of Nickolas & Dirkje (Dora) Dirksen. I actually remember Grandpa Herman very well & have a picture of him & Reintje in front of a very old automobile. You were inquiring about relatives in Holland, well I can tell you that I know of three brothers we are related to but I only know they are cousins. They are in harderwyk and the sons of Tracy Bensing Krygsdyk. My great aunt Clara, yougest of the children is still living in Sheldon IA and has been to Holland many times. I even remember Tuenisje if we called her taunta tause. Look forward to hearing back. My mother is Hermina.
