Te Krony Family

The te Krony and Wiekamp families detailed here are originally from the town of Winterswijk, in the province of Gelderland in the Netherlands.  It's close to the German border, in an area called the Achterhoek or "back corner" in Dutch.  Now, for a word of warning: To the best of my knowledge, this genealogy is correct, but given that nearly every name here is repeated two or three times it's easy to get people mixed up.  So take this post with a grain of salt, but I'm fairly certain of its validity.  If you're interested in researching more about the Achterhoek, there's a fantastic website dedicated to that purpose here.
Also, note that the parents of #12 are numbers 10 and 11.
