I finally got a hold of someone at the Clerk’s Office in Fort Wayne, who was kind enough to read me the names of my grandparents on my father’s side. My grandfather’s name was Ferdinand Johann Adolph Huster, and my grandmother’s name was Walda Huster. Like most people in my family, she had a nickname, which is what confused me.

I think he had a nickname, but I do think it was Co-something. I have to think about it...I'm sure he had a brother now that you mention it. No, WAIT, that WAS Om Co. I'm sure of it now. I'll post on your blog if you don't find this post. That is so great! I'd love to read more about the family tree, because I can only reconstruct it as far back as my grandfather on my mother's side. I'm still waiting for information about my grandmother on my father's side. I remember now a brother of my grandfather visiting, and him going to visit him in Indonesia.

How are you doing? I was just surfing the net and after reading your blog I figured we must be family! I'm a grandson of Cobus Veenstra who was a brother of your grandfather John :). I'm in Indonesia at the moment and I thought you might find it interesting to read my weblog at http://bartinindonesia.blogspot.com. I've just retraced the original family of my/your grandfather (brothers and sisters of John/Cobus before they were adopted) so those would be your father's uncles I guess. Cheers from Indoland!
