Mom made this presentation about her life to a group in Cranbrook, BC, Canada back which I believe was in 2000 or close to it. So I thought I would share this with you in her own words: (see attachment)

Central Bureau for Genealogy

The 'Centraal Bureau voor Genealogie' (Central Bureau for Genealogy - CBG) is the Dutch information and documentation centre for genealogy, family history and related sciences.

The CBG is the ideal starting point for most research into Dutch ancestors or Dutch migrants who settled in other countries in the world.

I have some exciting news to share!

On 15 Oct 2010 - while searching online using the Masius name (my mother's mother family name or my Oma) I discovered the Masius family and made contact with the creator of the site, Hank Tweedy.

http://www3.telus.net/public/htweedy/LUCARDIE%20FAMILIE/

The site is titled as Descendants of Johannes Stephanus Lucardie

Hank Tweedy is a cousin of my mother, and I have discovered that Oma was 1 of 13 brothers and sisters, and Hank's mom is part of the Lucardie and Tweedy family.

Please see the link above and the attached pdf chart that I received from Hank, who lives in Canada as well.

I would like to acknowledge Hank Tweedy for the many hours of work he has put into the research and documentation of his ancestors. And I appreciate all the benefits from the information that you presented online.

Hank - Terima kasih banyak / Dank u wel / Thank you very much.
