Inspired by the birth of my son a couple of years ago and being the nephew of a noted genealogist has intrigued my family history. My sons parents are of Mennonite and Dutch origin. A recent trip to Holland enabled me to research my wife's family history. Visiting various cemetaries with my Great-Uncle Oom Be in Northern Holland was a highlight of the trip. We located and photographed many tombstones of our ancestors.
Currently I am working on creating a DRIEDGER FAMILY HISTORY book. I am enjoying connecting with the many Driedgers that are out there...hearing stories (and sharing them with relatives)from our ancestors is what I enjoy the most. Please give me some feedback on this page...interest/corrections etc. Feel free to email me at:

Here are some of the surnames in our son's family line: Driedger, Pierik, Goertzen, Terpstra, Froese, Bouwman, Klassen, Bakker, Martens, Oosterhoff, Teichroeb, Westers, Bergen, deVries, Rempel, Flierjans, Neudorf etc.
