Martin KOOISTRA - New Jersey
After finally finding the correct ship manifest on Ellis Island, Martin KOOISTRA was listed as the uncle of Jouke JOUKEMA. Martin was listed as the relative. He lived in Midland Park, New Jersey. The manifest was dated 19 Apr 1910.
Jouke was from Minnertoga, Freisland, Holland. His father was Hendricus JOUKEMA, 1853 - 1926.
Does anyone have information on Martin KOOISTRA? I have listed on the family tree that Jouke's mother was Trijntje DIJKSTRA.
Jouke traveled again through Ellis Island on 22 Jun 1914. It showed that he was in the USA from 1910 to 1914.This time he was going to his cousin. The name is not written to clear, put it looks like N. Os??iga, from Midland Park, New Jersey.
A third time he was listed as Joseph JOUKEMA, married, US citizen, living at 7032 S. Carpenter St., Chicago, Ill.
Thank you for any information that you can share.
