My great-grandfather was Ernest Henry Buurman b. January 31, 1904 in Raymond, Minnesota.Most of Grandpa's siblings were born in Raymond Minnesota, but the last few were born after they moved to Canada in aprox. 1908.Grandma said that some of grandpa's family had dropped one of the "u"s so I have been trying to search under both names.Grandpa's Father was Henry Buurman b. March 17, 1873 in what looks like Sioux County, Iowa.His wife Annie Lahoda we believe was born somewhere in Minnesota. We also have a note in an old family bible to Henry's mother DerkJe Buurman b. July 24, 1845 who was born in Holland.We do not know how old she was when she came over.Grandpa did have a brother Albert Edward Buurman who could have been named after an uncle or great-uncle.
I hope this may be of some help, let me know if you think we're related.Even if not, I'd really appreciate hearing of any information you may have happened across that might connect with me.
