Notes for SIKKE (JOHN) EVERTS DEGROOT:

A document from Holland, states Sikke was born in Grouw.  Family information received from Holland says "The names of the places that are mentioned, are of the place where the certificates were written down. These places were larger and had an archief.  This means that the real place of birth or death may be an other (smaller) place near to the archief.  Grouw, for instance is a smaller place near Idaarderadeel, but since it had no archief, people had to go to Idaarderadeel for the official document."

 

Records from Ellis Island indicate Sikke's port of departure was Rotterdam, South Holland, The Netherlands, on the ship NIEUW AMSTERDAM. His arrival date was March 23, 1909.
