I had high hopes that Rosalinde would answer my email! Of course, the email address I had used to write to her was from a couple of years ago, so maybe it's not one that she checks often ( I have one of those!) In any event, I'm still hopeful that I'll be able to contact her or one of her family members eventually.
Just a note of interest, my son recently visited Ellis Island. My grandfather, Reindert Tuinman passed through there in 1914 when he arrived in the US. There is a place where all the names are listed, and my son thoughtfully took this picture. (center column, 5th from bottom)
It is interesting to note that his first name is spelled differently from the way it was spelled in the Netherlands, but seems to have been Americanized.
Recently, I have begun researching my grandmother's genealogy. It's a bit easier because she comes from several generations of Americans. Perhaps I'll start another blog......
