That little child, named Rintcius Willem ter Veen, born in Holland (Wildervank) died (ca. 4 months old) september 10, 1911 on board of the ship Tjakiena, sailing from London to (probably) Uddevalle. Official papers of his dead could not be found in Holland, except one note: died september 10,1911 Frederiksstad Norway.
Maybe there is more information in the community of Frederiksstad, maybe there is a grave, maybe an old paper mentioning this tragic event.
Any kind of help is very, very welcome!
Many thanks in advance! |

Burial record #57: click here
Source: Østfold county, Vestre Fredrikstad, Parish register (official) nr. I 8 (1902-1936), Death and burial records 1911, page 98.
Cause of death looks like gastroenteritis.

Wwwooowww! What a surprise! And so fast!
Now the history of my family-in-law is clear. This Rintcius Willem was the eldest son of Henderikus ter Veen and Tjakje Brinkman, the grandfather and grandmother of my wife. No one was aware of what happened with that little baby. Now we know that there is a burial. Do you know if that grave is still there?
Thank you so much! |

You can send an inquiriy to the Fredrikstad church, and they can do a lookup to check if the grave still exist in their records. Check with the Kirkeverge (churchwarden).
The cemetery is probably Vestre gravlund in Fredrikstad, Østfold.
I would not have too high hopes, since the burial was 100 years ago, and presumably no relatives lived nearby to look after the grave.

I'm again very impressed about the speed of your reply.
I will contact the church and other officials for further details, because I also want this child to be registered in the Dutch archives. Therefore I need an authorized copy of the record.
Many thanks again! |
