Hello,

My name is Cliff Bos. I live in the Netherlands. I found your Ernestine Helena Hoff funeral blog. A beautiful blog. The photo's tell she was quite a personality. It turns out that Ernestine and my grandmother Jeanette share the same mother. Her name was Ernestine Wilhelmine Bogaardt. She married Carel Hendrik Hoff back in Indonesia at a very young age. They got divorced and Carel took the kids with him. Ernestine Wilhelmine got married again and got 2 childeren with a J.C. Doppert, Tineke and Jeanette. Unfortunately this marriage did not last too. Ernestine brought her two kids to an orhan house. I know this from my grandmother Jeanette. She spent her life searching for her family but never succeeded. My grandmother's greatest wist was to see what her mother looked like. After she passed away in 2000 I promised myself to continue her search. I hope you can tell me a bit more about Ernestina Helena, her brother Eugene and her father Carel hendrik Hoff.

Hope to hear from you!
Cliff Bos

Dear People,

I noticed that Cliff Bos has written a message here. He and I have corresponded about matters concerning the Bogaardt genealogy as my father was married briefly and then divorced Dolly Gerarda Bogaardt. He then married my mother Geertruida Catharina Geutjes. Should you be interested I have the whole Bogaardt genealogy which I could forward to you if you wish!
