Note: [Dec 2012] Jane says Moeder is not a sis of Nuttert, but of his wife Altje. Also, Nuttert's bro Hielke lost his 1st wife early (DY), so a woman they called 'Moeder-moi' [kind of means 'Auntie'] raised his kids and lived w/him but, strangely, they never married?! Jane remembers her as a very kindly woman. Also, Janke DILLEMA had a 1st cousin (dau of her Mom's sis) who lived in the same town growing up, so kind of confusing. They were best friends and named after the same ancestor.
