<p>[QUOTE="kmc512, post: 4507330, member: 77405"]Willem Hondius Van Gessel was my grandfather. By the time he was living on Long Branch in San Diego, California he was married to his 3rd wife (my Oma - Frederika Benner) who was Dutch. They met in Den Hauge and then came to the United States. Opa had 5 children with his first wife (Olga was one of these children) who was Dutch/Indonesian, 2 with his second wife (Grace and Humphrey) who was also Dutch/Indonesian and 5 more daughters with my Oma (Mildred, Phyllis, Irma, Wilhelmina (my mother) and Emily). He was indeed Dutch/Indonesian and did own a rubber plantation in Java.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
