Email from Becca HamblinDear Jay, Thank you so much for your expression of sympathy and for the i nformation that you sent. I also want to apologize for taking so lo ng to reply to you. I have been obtaining information faster than I can s ort. I decided to just go ahead & send it out as I can. Here is some inf ormation for you & for RBernards, whom you put in touch with me. I ho pe to be able to give you more Hermans information in the not too dista nt future.Sincerely,Becca HamblinHere is a copy of the message that I sent off to RBernards.Hi, I apologi ze for taking so long to respond to your email. I only just began resear ching my DeGroot family, beyond my own family records, in Sept of this yea r. I stumbled into some information that continues to grow exponentiall y. I really was not prepared to find so much so fast. As there are a f ew discrepancies between my sources, I was hoping to compile it together b efore sending it off. This is just taking me too long and I know that y ou are as anxious as I was, to obtain missing pieces of information. Th is is information is ready to send. It was written by Dorotique Bernar ds and Jo DeGroot. I have no source of contact for them. I also have inf ormation from a Dick DeGroot, who may have more of what you are looking fo r. I will have to send it seperately in a day or two. Also I have obtain ed some good information from a Rita Devroy that you may be interested i n. I have just started transcribing it. I would be interested in any inf ormation that you have on DeGroot, Verstraten/VanStraten, VanVonderern, Va nderHorst. Really on any of our common surnames. I would also like to find out how we connect in our DeGroot Tree. It tur ns out the Rita & I are distantly connectly through many of our surname s. She and I just happened to be doing research at the same time, in t he Brown County WI register of deeds office. This had to be providen ce as I just happened to be visiting family in the area & decided to use t he opportunity to do research. My first research outside family recor ds & the internet. As you read, you will come to Theodore Carl DeGroot, the son of Bernard us DeGroot (generation #9) & Christina Hermens (we spell it Hermans), Bern ardus is the son of Henricus DeGroot & Petronella Verstraten, Henric us is the son of Bernardis Linders DeGroot, who died of Cholera, on the vo yage to America, in 1866. Bernardus Linders had 3 of his children, Henric us, Anna Maria & Christina, with him on this journey. They arrived safe ly in the DePere area of Wisconsin in 1866. Bernardus Linders daughter Joh anna, apparently made the journey in 1867, with her husband Johannes VanVo nderen & 3 small children. Most of this information is obtained from my o ther sources & I have had no time for verications. Theodore Carl, listed a bove, is my grandfather.Sincerely,Becca Hamblin

Upon finding the following certificate of death, I believe that Catheri ne & Bernard also had a daughter named Francis. I have not yet complet ed my process of elimination to determine whether there could possibly ha ve been another Catherine Hermans & Bernard DeGroot, in Wausaukee, b ut it seems unlikely. My mother, who was born & raised there, remembers n one.

My notes on Francis DeGroot:
BURIAL: I am sure that if (as I suspect) Francis is the daughter of my Cat herine Hermans & Bernard DeGroot that she is buried in the DeGroot Fami ly Plot of Bernard DeGroot, located in Evergreen Cemetery, Wausaukee, W I. There is no marker for Francis in Evergreen Cemetery and unless she h as been recently added, there is no record of Francis being buried ther e. What I do have are other records & some sound logic.
Fact: Many of Evergreen Cemetery's records were lost in a fire.Fact: Bernard DeGroot buried his first wife Christina/Christine in his De Groot family plot, in the year 1901.Fact: Catherine, the mother of Francis, had already buried her husband Be rnard DeGroot, in this family plot, in January of 1917.Fact: Francis died in March of 1917, and was buried in Wausauk ee by A. P. Bunker. The records of A. P. Bunker were not as complete as t hey needed to be, in order to compensate for the loss of Evergreen Cemeter y's records.Fact: 1st hand, family accounts state that in 1934 & 1943, two infant gra ndchildren of Bernard & Christina were buried (in unmarked graves) in Bern ard DeGroot's family plot.Fact: The cemetery records, for these 1934 & 1943 burials, were lost in t he above fire and only recently re-added to the cemetery records.Fact: The names of these grandchildren have only recently been adde d, by their siblings, to the headstone of their parents (Theodore Carl & M ary Leone DeGroot, who are buried a small distance from Bernard DeGroot 's family plot).Fact: Francis' mother, Catherine, was buried there, in Bernard's family p lot, in 1946.Fact: Bernard & Christina's son, Henry (who remained single), was buri ed in Bernard's family plot, in 1966.Fact: Bernard & Catherine's daughter, Cecilia (who remained single), w as buried in Bernard's family, in 1998.Fact: There is a place reserved, in Bernard DeGroot's family plot, for t he burial of Sister Avita, daughter of Bernard & Catherine.My Mom (born & raised in Wausaukee) knows of no other Wausaukee Cemetery.Common sense tells me that Francis was laid to rest near her father, in h is family plot.

Francis was born on July 28, 1916. She was the last child born to Catherine and Bernard. She had a brother, named Christian, and two sisters named, Cecilia and Helen. Helen became Sister Avita of the Dominican Order. There are no other descendants from the union of Catherine and Bernard DeGroot. Francis also had five brothers and sisters through Bernard's previous marriage. They were as follows: Johanna Carolina, known as Caroline, Henry, also called Hank, Theodore Carl , known as C arl , Petronella, who was called Nell and William. Their mother was Christina, sister to Catherine, who was born November 12, 1866 and passed from this life on July 29, 1901. Francis' parents, Bernard and Catherine, were married on February 23, 1903 in Wausaukee, Wisconsin. Catherine was born on January 5, 1881 in DePere, Wisconsin. She passed from this life on January 2, 1946. Bernard, whose formal name was Bernardus, was born on September 28, 1869 in DePere, Wisconsin. He was also called Barney. He passed from this life on January 10, 1917. Catherine and Bernard rest together in peace at Evergreen Cemetery, Wausaukee, Wisconsin. While Francis was born in the United States of America, all four of her grandparents were born in the Netherlands of Europe. They were Jacoba Jacobs who was married with Carl Hermans and Petronella Verstraten who was married with Hen r i cus DeGroot, also known as Henry. 1917 was a most difficult year for Catherine, who returned both her husband and her daughter to the LORD in that year. Francis DeGroot was laid to rest with her father and passed into Heaven on March 4, 1917.

Obituary:
Evelyn Dolan, of Kaukauna, passed away February 7, 2014, after 92 amazing years. Her family was at her side to comfort her two days after she suffered a stroke. Ev was born in Wausaukee, WI on December 16, 1921 to Nellie and James DeGroot. Her family eventually moved to Kimberly and then Little Chute where Ev graduated from St John's High School. After graduation she worked for a time at a law office and Kimberly Clark.
On February 12, 1942, Ev married Jack Dolan (who preceded her in death in 1986). For the next 27 years she was Jack's partner in hard work at the family farm on Farrell Rd. There she raised and nurtured 7 children along with milking, field work, housekeeping, constant cooking, and managing finances--a true multi-tasker. Yet she still found time for the Honeycomb Homemakers' Club, leading the Nitengale 4-H Club, vegetable gardening, and remodeling the old farmhouse. She was a great cook who took pride in her delicious baked goods and putting on elaborate feasts for company and work crews.
In 1969 the farm was sold and Ev moved to Desnoyer St. in Kaukauna. She began a new career as photo finisher/inspector at Pechman Studios. Eventually she found the strength to carve a new life and home for herself as an independent woman and single parent.
After retiring in 1987, Ev finally found time for enjoying new adventures, hobbies, and her grandchildren. She travelled the country from New England to California to Disney World. She took up golf, bowling, birdwatching and card playing--staying fit with regular swim exercise & walking. She volunteered for everything, from the Food Pantry to being a poll worker. When taking care of her house became too much like the old farm chores, Ev became one of the very first residents at Canal Place Senior Housing. There she led an active social life with an open door policy among her close friends & confidants, playing cards and enjoying life on the Fox River. After she could no longer drive herself, she liked nothing better than going with friends and family for a quick "bite to eat" and drives through the countryside.
Throughout her long life, Ev was totally devoted to her faith. She was an active member of Holy Cross Church for over 70 years, sang in the Church choir, helped prepare countless Church luncheons and was Treasurer of the Ladies of Holy Cross. She attended Mass regularly until the past few months, but continued her daily prayers and reflections to her last day.
Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents, Jack & his parents, daughter Mary (VanderHeiden) Skop, and son Mike Dolan. Also her sisters Eunice DeGroot, Gerry Berg & her husband Carl, brother Clayton DeGroot & his wife Jeanette, son-in-law Ron Granger, and brother-in-law Jerome Berg.
Surviving Ev are her children & their spouses James (Donna) Dolan, Colleen Granger, Dennis (Trudy) Dolan, Tom (Patti) Dolan, Tim (Wanda) Dolan and Daughter-in -law Carla Dolan. Also her dear sisters, Leone Berg and Helen DeGroot and her Grandchildren, Brian (Maureen) Granger, Kelly (Paul) Wenzel, Scott VanderHeiden, Chris (Andrew) Utrie, Michelle (Bob) Holloway, Kerry (John) Wolcott, Joe (Marie)Vandenberg, Derek (January) Dolan, Katie Eickermann, Matthew (Krista) Dolan, Tyler Dolan, Brandon Dolan and Trevor Dolan--along with 14 Great Grandchildren and many dear nieces & nephews--and Jean VanderHeiden who visited Grandma so often.
Visitation for Evelyn will be held at Holy Cross Church, 309 Desnoyer St, Kaukauna, on Saturday, February 15, from 10am to noon. Mass will follow at 12:15pm with lunch in the church basement after Mass. Future interment will be at St Patrick Cemetery in Snyderville. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund will be established. Please share any on-line condolences or memories through the Post-Crescent website or at boettcherfamilyfuneral.com.
Evelyn Dolan was a kind, gentle, strong & admired woman--with a truly great soul. Poet Maya Angelou says "A great soul serves everyone all the time. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again". We all know that Ev will live on as the "Great Soul" of the Dolan and DeGroot families.

Obituary:
James Dolan, 73, Kaukauna, passed away unexpectedly Saturday, November 19, 2016. The son of the late Jack & Evelyn (DeGroot) Dolan, he was born in Kaukauna on February 15, 1943. Jim married Donna (Spierings) Van De Hey on February 25, 2006.
After spending his youth working on the family farm, Jim held a variety of positions ranging from millworker, assembler, apprentice electrician, cabinetmaker, truck driver, and in his "retirement" a retail building materials consultant and fertilizer specialist. But Jim's real passions were tinkering, remodeling and woodworking. He spent countless hours in his well-equipped shops making cabinets, bird houses, benches, and decorations for everyone--usually at his own cost. He transformed every house he owned into a showcase. His "spare" time was often spent camping, hunting & fishing.
Jim is survived by Donna; her children: Travis (Heidi) and Cory (Danielle); grandchildren: Taylor, Kaitlyn, Ethan and Lauren; sister, Colleen Granger; brothers: Dennis (Trudy), Tom (Patti) and Tim (Wanda); mother-in-law, Rose Zita Spierings; in-laws: Carla Dolan, Dick (Holly) Spierings, Dave Spierings and Deb (Scott) Elm; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Mary Skop; brother, Mike: father-in-law, George Spierings; and brother-in-law, Ron Granger.
Visitation will be held Saturday, November 26, 2016 at O'CONNELL FUNERAL HOME (1776 E. Main Street, Little Chute) from 9 a.m. until the time of funeral and tributes at 12:00 Noon. Deacon Bruce Corey will officiate. To sign the guest book, please visit oconnellfh.com.
Jim was loved by everyone. He could put you at ease an bring a smile to your face without even trying -- and he will continue to do so always. Since he was so proud of his Irish heritage, he would be pleased to become part of the family's favorite song: "When (Jim's) Irish heart was happy all the world seemed bright and gay. And when his Irish eyes were smiling, sure, they steal your heart away".
