Hi: I'm researching for Marie Hoekstra and her brother Bartheld. The ship manifest from Ellis Island shows they came to the States in September of 1914. At that time she was 24 years of age and Bartheld was 19 years old.

My Grandfather came through Ellis in February of 1920 and he listed her as his cousin and living in New Holstein, Wi. One of my Uncles remembers visiting her in New Holstein in the mid 30's.I don't know if she married. I did note a Bart Hoekstra in the Social Security Index. He died in 1970 in New Holstein. Thanks for any assistance, Dave Lugers

If you are still looking Maria and Bartel Hoekstra were Aunt and Uncle of my father Melvin Hoekstra, New Holstein. I have started a family tree, still needs a lot of updating. You can see at http://hoekstrafamilytree.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?useri...
