The following excerpt is from the January 30, 2014 website of the Philadelphia Tribune:
The PBS series “Genealogy Roadshow,” now in its second season, continues at 8 p.m., Feb. 3 on WHYY, with an engrossing episode emanating from the New Orleans Board of Trade.
“Genealogy Roadshow” stars genealogists Kenyatta D. Berry, Joshua Taylor and Mary Tedesco and features participants with “unique claims and storylines.”
In this intriguing installment, the team of genealogists are in The Big Easy uncovering fascinating stories from the residents of one of America’s most multicultural cities…
I’m living in the Netherlands and searching for ancestors of my husbands grandmother in the United States. Two of her brothers went to the united states somewhere between 1920 and 1950. They worked on several ships and arrived there on several occasions. Later on they stayed there. One of the brothers lived in Lancaster from 1945 till his death in 1984. He is burried in Mellingers Cemetery Pennsylvania. His name is Antonius Adrianus Kieboom. I’ll allready know that he was not married and had no children.
His brother named Dirk Antonie Kieboom lived in 1804 Polymnia st in 1925, New Orleans, Louisiana, born in Rotterdam 1899. After 1928 he lived at 1303 Frenchman St. In 1926 he worked as a busdriver, so he told his sister in a letter in that year. In 1942 he lived in Cortez str. 6195. After that I can not find anything about him accept for a Robert Kieboom who lived in New Orleans and was married to Anna Kieboom. Can you help me? Are there relatives of Dirk Anthoney in New Orleans, children, grandchildren. I’d like to thank in advance for your help.
Kind regards
