What do you know about the Cooks? Did they marry in Holland or in the US? Did they have children in Holland? Did they arrive in the US at Ellis Island or another port? When and where did they die, and can you find an obituary?
The names Cook, Adrian and Jenny are not Dutch, they probably changed their names after immigration.
Are these your ancestors?
Lieuwe van Kampen, 20, born in Workum, resident of Sneek, son of IJske van Kampen and Trijntje Adema, married Jiskje Bijlsma, 19, born in and resident of Bolsward, daughter of Tjeerd Bijlsma and Lolkje Boschoorn, on 14 December 1901 in Bolsward.
Found the marriage certificate on Alle Friezen.
Search Ancestry for Lieuwe Van Kampen with an approx. birth year of 1880. There will be a passenger record in New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 Arrival: 11 May 1930. I'm finding more on the Dutch sites, including their marriage record. Since they may tie (albeit indirectly) into a project I'm working on, I'm starting pages for them at
http://www.werelate.org/wiki/Family:Lieuwe_van_Kampen_and_Jiskje_Bi...(1). I'll add details for a few generations there.
Ah, it's too early to get frustrated :-)
