On this same census on page 134B, I see a Holmes family: Joseph, Harriet, Charles, Della and Ettie. I don't know if there is a Hames.
I believe it is Jan Zeedijk born 15 oct.1852 in Sommesldijk the Netherlands. He went with his father Cornelis Zeedijk and his mother Willempje van den Hil and 4 brothers and sisters to the USA. In 1866 and 1868 2 daughters were born in Kalamazoo - Michigan.
Who knows more about this family in the USA.
