I am researching the Dob descendents - starting with the 10 children of Albert Gerrits 1699-1781) and his wife, Trijtje Jacobs ( ??- 1788). This family started out in Usquert, Groningen. There were a number of family members that immigrated to the United States - Muskegon, Michigan, New Jersey and Keokuk, Iowa.

Please feel free to email me - will.john@yahoo.com

Thanks,

My Dad recently told me the story of seeing a man coming toward him waving and his Father saying it was cousin Maarten Dob back from America. That would have been about the 1930's in Texel, Holland. I can't find the connection in the Dob family with America so I am wondering if you are related to them. My Grandfather was Gerrit Dob born 1871 Texel, Netherland. His parents were Hindrik Dob born 1834 Uithuizen, Gron., Netherland, mother Johanna Niesse born 1838 Stad, Aan't, Haringvliet, Netherland. Hindrik's parents were Gerrit Wildriks Dob born 1802 Usquert, Groningen, Netherland and Jantje Klassens Huizinga born 1802 Usquert, Groningen, Netherland.

I just found a long ago posted reply to my inquiry of several years ago. I am the great grand daughter of Albert Dob and Anna Smit. However, Albert's parents are not Gerrit Dob. If you would like more info, contact me and we can compare notes.

Mary, or "Marie De Maar" (as found on the 1900 census) is the daughter of Hendrikje van Kampen and Jacobus De Maar. Hendrikje is the sister of Jan v. Kampen, my great-grandfather. I have been trying to track down the "downlines" of all relatives possible.

I know that Henry & Mary had at least 5 children: Margary, Colbert, Raymond, Fredrik and Grace. What happened to any of these, I don't have any clue.

Any information on these would be appreciated. You may also reach me away from the bulletin board if you wish at gvankampen@earthlink.net.

Thanks again,

I'm looking for more information on the family of Albert Dobbs and Anna Smit, especially Alberts parents Gerrit and Itje, or Garret and Ida . It appears the family settled in Keokuk Iowa after immigrating from Holland in 1889. This Dob family is part of my Dob family. Any information would be appreciated.

Hello Greg,

I can give you most of the details on the Dob family, have records back to the 1700's and forward to the present day. Within the last week worked with one of the descendants of Henry and Mary/Marie DeMar Dob. I have access to most of the birth, marriage and death records. Please let me know what info you are seeking, I can also put you in contact with relatives in Muskegon.

I too am looking for Dobb from the Spring Lake and Muskegon area. Specifically, a Henry Dobb and wife Mary. Both are listed in the 1910 census with both parents coming from the Netherlands. Mary's maiden name was DeMaar. This is who I am trying to research on. If this family sounds familiar, I can give you census info.

Have been doing my family history, my mother's maiden name is Dobb/Dob, her family arrived in Spring Lake, Michigan in the mid 1860's. The family names were Roelof K. Dobb who married Aaltje(Alice)Huisinga. It appears there were two brothers, Hypa who married Jantje Fischer and Albert who married Rena Zwart, one sister as well Anje(Anna) who married Hilbrand Start(k). Perhaps there is a link?

Do you know where they came from? My ancestors came from Usquert, Groningen, Netherlands, and did not come to US until 1880s. Albert Dob was son of Eibe Albers Dob. Let me know more of what you have so I can compare notes.
