NewGerritsen Family Apeldoorn, Gelderland, Netherlands 1880-1920

Willemina Sientje Gerritsen was born 24 Nov 1919 in Apeldoorn. Her parents were Hendrik Gerritsen and Gerda Sophie Heppelink. I am unable to find any records for this family. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

Hi
It is difficult.
Her parents marriage seems to be  24 July 1919 at Apeldoorn
Henrik  Gerritson age 22  s of Teunis Gerritson and Sientje Sileon to Gerda Sophie Weppelink age 21 d of Hendrik Jan Weppelink.

It's on the website www.wiewaswie.nl
(there is an English version).

It looks like Gerda has a sister Joanna born 1891 who lists her mother as Wilhelmina Derkjen Nijland

Grandparents Teunis Gerritson born 28th June 1875 s of Hendrik Gerriston and Tonia Ter Maten married Sientje Sileon born 1872 d of Evert Sileon and Heintjen Peters on the 24 Nov 1898 Apeldoorn

Other grandparents Hendrik Jan Weppelink. and Wilhelmina Derkjen Nijland I can't see a marriage.

There is a family tree at

www.genealogieonline.nl/en/stamboom-boerstra/I15060.php

Hope that helps

Ciderdrinker,

I thought you may like to know how you helped me to assist a mate of mine Harry Foks.  Harry and I served in 2SQN RAAF during the Vietnam War.  Harry came to Australia in 1954 with his mother Willemina Sientje Gerritsen and his Stepfather Hendrik Jan Foks. Harry he was born in 1948, his natural father was Jan de Ruiter. 

Thanks to you, and some research by me, he now has some information about his mother's family that was previously unknow.

Regards,
TomG
