At 12:58pm on November 6, 2009, Gwynn Socolich said…: I am looking for the Kramer family from Sint Jacobiparoche, Het Bildt, Friesland, Netherlands. 9 September 1863 birth of Sytske Kramer. I found her birth record scan online. She died in Racine, Wisconsin (Susan DeYoung) in 1889 of Typhoid fever. Her father was Aart Betzes Kramer and her mother was Maartje Klazes Dijkstra. I was wondering if this family immigrated from Germany? I have a friend who is a Kramer and they were from Germany.

LOL....Most of my research has been in Quebec on my side of the family, but I do have to make it back to PEI for additional research pre-1860's back to the founding of the island. So many relatives there, so little time! LOL....

Have a great day!

Nice to hear from you. We are just outside Mount Stewart. We are both from England originally. We have been on PEI for just over two years. Spent 4 years in New Brunswick before that. Haven't found much genealogical activity in PEI.

A Visit to Pier 21
