Marriage of John Boezel & Maggie Van Wijk (state transcript register) Entry #162 - marriage date 28 Sep 1872 - marriage place Holland, Michigan - John Boezel, farmer, of Fillmore, Michigan, age 30 - Maggie Van Wyk of Fillmore, Michigan, age 16; both born Netherlands Europe - married by Henry D. Post, Justice of the Peace - witnesses Arie Panels of Holland [Michigan] & Jan Tunipe (or Turipe) of Holland [Michigan] - recorded 19 Oct 1872 -+-+- This is the full transcript made for the State of Michigan from the original Ottawa County register. | ||
Boezel, Martha-Birth (Holland, Ottawa County)-1877-02-25 last entry on page - born 25 Feb 1877 - [no given name] Boezel - white - born City of Holland - parents John Boezel, carpenter, and Grietje Boezel, both residing City of Holland - recorded 1 June 1878 - This is the official full transcript register that was hand-copied from the original county and sent to the State of Michigan. The date recorded is the date that the copy was made. -+-+-+- Her birth was recorded in both Ottawa and Kent Counties. I believe that she was born in Holland (Ottawa County) since all prior family events are there and that the family moved very soon to Grand Rapids (Kent County) where immediate subsequent family events show them. This is further supported by her having no given name in the Holland record but having the given name Martha in the Grand Rapids record. | ||
