Hi Michael! I just got back to researching the Thissens and saw this post from years ago. I thought you might be interested to know that I may have found the 12th child John and Gertrude had - George! I googled the last name "Thissen" and found George Thissen on Family Search in the International Genealogical File for North America.They got the information from the Perry County Ohio probate court, so it's reliable. It doesn't say what year he died.
90. George Thissen - International Genealogical Index / NA
Gender: Male Birth: 17 APR 1888 Monroe, Perry, Ohio
Film or fiche number
0911378
Film/fiche search results
Birth records, 1867-1908Ohio. Probate Court (Perry County)
The parents' names are given as "John Thissen" and "Gertie Ross"!
I can't find a George Thissen anywhere else, and my grandmother never mentioned him. She was close with the siblings who were born around when she was, from Jennie on down. Maybe he died young. She always said she was the 12th of 12. She wasa born in 1889, only a year and a half after George Thissen.
I can't find any record of Jacob Rosen or Gertrude in Holland, looking in the Dutch database. Have you done any international searches that found anything? I do see lots of Thissens, maybe relatives of John's, who were living in Limberg very near Afferden-by-Gennep where Gertrude was born, in Bergen, and Wells and Gennep.
