Hi Catherine: thanks again for your help and guidance.
I will post on the message boards for the Hague girls and hope someone responds.
If nothing happens there, perhaps I'll try and pursue another branch of the family.
It is very difficult to trace family when living on another continent, not to mention expensive.
However, I remain hopeful that I'll find a connection that will lead me to family in the 20th century.
Best regards Bev
