I have not run across the Blaker name in my journeys yet and I am working on 3 trees all in Eastern Europe I will let you know if I find any!

Henk, the Cook side may be a deadend my mom,bless her,is not doing so good at remembering anything.The only other living person in the line is my uncle who is 12 years younger than mom.I am hoping he can help.he never married and lived with my Grandma Rena  until her passing at 94 in 2002.I wish I had been doing this while she was alive,but Uncle George still lives in her home and may be able to dig up some things for me,thanks for the help I will let you know how I do.

I am doing what is called a One Name Study - of the name Blaker.  Found everywhere the old German was used, as in UK, Scandanavia, Germany and eastern Europe and so on.  And of course, The Netherlands.

If you run across one of more of these odd beasts, I would be pleased to know about it, and thank you .

Do you know their dates of birth? Or only the years? Are they both from Friesland?

ok the only thing I have found so far is 1920 and 1930 US census they dont give her Maiden name.Ellis Island is just what I was told by my family but they could very well be wrong .I was able to find all my other ancestors immigration records but not Adrians.I will keep working on it.The censes is where I found their birthdates and when he immigrated .I will start looking for marriage and birth records

Ellis Island opened in 1892. What is your source for the immigration?

 

Try to do some research in the US first (at ancestry.com or familysearch.org, for example). Try to discover a marriage record, an obituary, or an immigration record. It would be easier to find them in Holland if you know Jenny's maiden name, or the town where Adrian was born, or the Dutch names.

Looking again at this if Jennie was born in 1881 she was alot younger and must have met him in the states.He must have come over by himself.I wish I could find her Maiden name mom doesnt remember

Here is all I know about them.Adrian was born 1869 in Holland according to us cenus report,Jennie in 1881  they immigrated to us through ellis island in 1889 so they were married in Holland.They had 3 children in New Jersey Rena(my grandma) William and Peter.Adrian died in Hawthorn NJ in 1948.I have been told they may have changed their name from Kok or Kock to Cook.I will ask my mom if she knows any more info
