Hello, my name is Michelle Thomas and I'm researching both side of my family.

My Mother's maiden name is Hamelinck, with her father being John. We know that it was changed from Johannes when he was 3 or 4. His father was Josephino Hamelinck. Johannes was born on December 4, 1914 and died in December of 1987. He lived in Newark, NY. He was brought to America with Jacob (believed to be his aunt and uncle).

We have some information on them, however, we are seeking the information on Josephino Hamelinck and Elodie Marie Vercruyse. Johannes was born (as far as we know) in Zeeland, Netherlands.
