Hi Scott, that’s great! If you are open for it, I would like to get connected. To get connected, please connect BHIC (they can exchange mail address). I have a large Arts descendants community to which I share information on a regular basis. You can also check out my website
www.artsardts.nl. On the page Verhalen you will find the story about Cornelis Arts under the story De emigranten (also available in English). Jan Arts.
