This time I am especially calling on my Dutch readers, and even more so from the South of the Province of Limburg. Who can help me find my first cousin: A.C. Groenendael-Kurvers, daughter of my Mom's oldest brother.
06 14 1969 A.C. Van de Groenendael-Kurvers, my first cousin holding a baby.
06 14 1969 A.C. Van de Groenendael-Kurvers, my first cousin holding a baby.
With my late husband Frans, I did visit her, after my Maternal Grandfather Kurvers had passed away, in order to deliver her an envelope. Her Dad, had passed away in 1943 and he was the eldest son of my Grandparents.
The date and name I found on the back of this photo, received when visiting her.
A.C. Van de Groenendael-Kurvers
Nassaustraat 37 in Hoensbroek, The Netherlands
Anyone who could provide me with some information I like to thank in advance.
She no longer resides on this address...
Thanks to sweeet people from Hoensbroek, I did find her!
We have made several phone calls and also did visit her in 2016 at her home.
Social Media at its very best for searching across the big Atlantic Ocean!
Sadly my cousin passed away on August 20, 2019... but it makes me even more grateful for having made the effort to visit her in 2016 and for staying in touch by phone!
