My name is Hank Wilkes and I am from the Netherlands, Rotterdam. I am her cousin and therefore related to Frances. I came to visit her and the family in 1971, RR # 1, Essex, Ontario,Canada, with my parents Auntie Bep and Uncle Henk. I am sorry to learn that my cousin Frances has passed away. I was doing some genealogy and was looking into her mothers past with her maiden name Vink. There I learned that Auntie Gertrude had passed away in apr. 7-2013. Through this medium I wish to express my condoleances and to wish you strength for the future. I am flabbergasted how Frances looks like some of her Aunts in the Netherlands of which no one is alive anymore. I am 75 years old now since jan.8 and I was born in 1945. If possible please contact me through email: hmwilkes@hotmail.com, Hendrik Marinus Wilkes, Söderblomplaats 418, 3069SM Rotterdam, Netherlands. Wishing you all the best, in the hope of restoring contact with my Canadian relatives.
