Kathy and Lee,
Several of the names you listed in your post have also come up in my research.However, I do not have anyone named Meyer DeHeer near Pella, IA.
I had a grandfather named Howard who's fater was Jacob.Jacob had 3 brothers (Willem or William, Richard, & Derk) and 3 sisters (Rekje?, Johanna, & Jantze).They all (except Richard I believe) came to Ellis Island on 9-Mar-1893 on a ship called the Maasdam.Jacob's parents were Jan Simon DeHeer and Johanna DeYoung.Most of my information shows that the DeHeer's stayed mostly in Grand Haven, MI.
The reason I say that Richard did not come over on the boat is because I can not find his name on any passenger lists, so I may have him in the wrong branch or the tree... ;-)
Does any of this seem to mesh with your research?If so, I'd love to hear more from you and compare notes.
