Dear Ronald,
My grandfather, Rev. Henry Wagoner, was from the Netherlands, lived in New Jersey, and visited relatives in Michigan - Grand Rapids sounds familiar.He also spoke of a "rich" uncle who had moved to California.His father was Peter Wagoner and mother, Lena Rietmulder.They spelled their last name with an "o" so as to not be considered German.Is it possible we are related?Can you please tell me more about what you know of your Netherlands connection - where, who etc.Did you have a Pieter in your family there in Holland?
Hopefully your cousin,
Rosemary
