Walburg Family

In a change from the other branches of the family- ones that have been in the US since the 1700s or earlier, in many cases- we go now to the recently-immigrated Dutch portion of the family.  By recent, I mean 1915.  It's all relative, right? (Ha, no pun intended!)  One more note: most of the Dutch names you'll see have three names, the middle one being a patronymic (i.e. their father's name).
