Family records say that after her mother's death her two step-sisters helped to raise her. Their names are given as Sarah and Jane. (Jane is the English version of Jannetje, so the Dutch record does not contradict this statement.) Family members said Dena had two brothers who grew up to work in Rotterdam Harbor bringing in ocean liners. The online database reports three step brothers who lived to be adults, Jan, Joost, and Adriaan. My aunt Edith said that Dena was an orphan when she emigrated to the United States at age 14 so Henricus may have died at about age 60 sometime in the late 1860s. |

Family records say that Dena emigrated to America about 1870. She found employment as a maid with a wealthy family in Passaic, NJ. She met Thomas Anthony Hellegers while he had a temporary job as a coachman for the same family and they married soon after. Both were still in their teens. My aunt Edith remembered her as serene, a "wonderful person." On learning that 16-year-old Edith had begun to smoke cigarettes Dena told her "You go down in my estimation that much!" |
