  1. Hello: I am a Brouwer/Brewer descendant. My grandfather was Richard Brewer 1895-1974, husband of Margaret Brewer 1899-1992. He is being listed with middle initial “F”. My grandfather had no middle name. His son, Richard, was given the middle name Friemuth. Thus, Richard F. Brewer 1924-1970 had a son, Richard F. Jr. If you have any further questions, please contact me @ email above. He also had two daughters.

  2. I am a descendant of the Bockee family of Sint Anna ter Muiden.
    This article is referenced on the Brouwer genealogy web site, but I cannot find it:
    [S3358] Christopher A. Brooks, "The BocqueBockeBockee Family of Sint Anna ter Muiden, Flanders", New Netherland Connections Vol. 5, page 91 (2000). Hereinafter cited as "The BocqueBockeBockee Family." Can anyone provide me with a scan of the article?
    Many thanks if you can help,
    Jean Fisher, Philadelphia
