Netherlands

These photographs are a part of my vist with our freinds, my fathers World War II buddy name Jasper, his wonderful family and many Kokkeler family members still living in the Netherlands and Germany. Most importantly, I will be meeting for the very first time a part of my family that my sister and I have been looking for over 28 years... They are an important link to our Kokkeler family geneology (www.kokkeler.org). Prior to Marijo's death, 23 Nov 04, she compiled and wrote a 793 page Kokkeler family history book which is now being published by AuthorHouse.com outlining the Kokkeler, Lammer, Balog and Kozilek families.
