If any photos of Jacob Derk Kruizenga and his 2nd wife Gezina Rotmans or his 3rd wife Jennie exist, they would have certainly been passed down in the family.  I have exhausted all resources on the Derk Jacob Kruizenga (1879-1952) lineage as far as I am aware.  No pictures have been found.  Only a few of Derk and his wife Katherine.

So I turn now to another leg in the family. 

From Jacob Derk Kruizenga's (1830-1906) first marriage to Janna Nannenga come the following children:

Jessie (1858-1919).  She never married.
Carrie (1860-1931).  She never married.
Nettie (1861-1939).  She married John Hendricks.  A potential lead.

From Jacob Derk Kruizenga's second marriage to Gezina Rotmans came the following children:

Frances (1866-1944).  She married Jacob Frank Slooter.  A definite lead.
Derkje (Della) (1868-1872).
Zena (1871-1871).

From Jacob Derk Kruizenga's third marriage to Jennie Wittink came the following child:

Derk Jacobs Kruizenga (1879-1952).

The only two leads are in the family legs of Frances Kruizenga Slooter and Nettie Kruizenga Hendricks.

Using Census reports and obituaries I have successfully tracked down the family of Frances Kruizenga Slooter.  Here is the Slooter lineage as I researched it.

Jacob Frank Slooter (1865-1929) married Frances Kruizenga on 20 August 1885.  This union produced:

Frank Jacob Slooter (1886-1959) who married Marie Bolthouse on 4 Oct 1905.  This union produced:

Frances M. Slooter (1906-1982) who married Martin C. (Barney) Evert (1905-1982).  And this union produced:

Thomas C. Evert and Marge Evert. 

Marge Evert is now Marge Potter and resides in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  She wrote me back concerning family photos and said that she has many which are split between her and her brother Tom.  She also recalls visiting the Slooter plot at Greenwood as a young girl with her mother and being told of family across the way (the Kruizenga plot) who lost several children in infancy. 

I am looking forward to talking with Marge this coming Saturday, the 14th of January.  I am like a young kid waiting for Christmas to arrive.  Can't wait to see what photo treasures lie with the Slooter/Evert family.
