Darla,
I'm responding to you promptly because I don't want you to feel that your letter has been dropped into a "great black abyss" to which there is no answer! This seems to happen frequently. I have tried all day to get back to a web site I found a few months back on the Kool (or Cool) family. Oh, yes, we have to contend with TWO different spellings, if that weren't enough. For some reason, I have not been able to locate the site. I remember it was printed in electric green letters on a black background, making it virtually impossible to print out. All the information you cited sounds quite familiar and probably does pertain to your branch of the family. I think--and may not be correct--that there was a Leendert Senior and a Leendert Junior. I am looking for Leendert Junior and his son, Jacob. It is more than likely that the wife of Leendert Senior is the person you listed. I am going to press on in my effort to find the Kool website once again, and please write back to me if you want to share info. The other thing that makes our search so difficult is the use of the word "cool" as a slang vernacular for "great" or "wonderful." Gosh...I am thinking the Internet is a double edged sword. Sometimes it helps, more often it drives one crazy! Carol
