I want to reach the Wisconsin Sweeres, descendants of Hendrikus and Wilhelmina (VandenHeuvel) Sweere to get the word out of the Holy Cross Catholic Church's Centennial event set for Sunday, July 11, 2010 where a Sweere Family Reunion is being planned. I am personally looking for one or two Sweere and/or Dykhoff names to add their story to the Centennial book I am editing. Might I suggest John and Margaret Sweere as they were one of the owners of the Johnston Stockfarm (a section in the book is reserved for the Holy Cross residents of the Stockfarm). Maybe Alice or one of her siblings could do the story. Tell her Veronica and Nellie and Clare still miss her! Could you have her email me or send a letter to Veronica Sweere Chatterton, 2210 East 40th St, #101. Minneapolis, MN 55407. Telephone: 612-599-5379. Also did a family member serve in WW II?

They may be cousins of our dads as they were Van den Heuvels who grew up in Holland and trained at St Paul seminary in St. Paul, MN. The Johnston Land Company paid them monthly salaries and travel expenses to 'recruit' dutch settlers to come to America (Butler, Onamia and North Dakota) where the land company owned 650,000 acres of land stripped of the white pine forests. With our three Sweere siblings marrying each other and a half dozen other siblings, it is very possible they we are related. My dad and I visited his Van den Heuvel cousins his age (80+) at Saint Anthony. Dad was your dad's age. Maybe you can check the Dutch archives to see if these names appear as cousins to our generation and broader Van den Heuvel family network. The Crosiers historical writings report their names as Father August Van den Heuvel who was a priest at Loretto, MN (who told the Dykhoffs about Butler) as well as other Dutch and Belgium families who came to join our Dutch settlement. The one assigned to Onamia was the priest assigned to North Dakota was really a priest in Montana and was paid by either group to recruit. These two brothers also has siblings in Buffalo, MN (Joe) and Louis in Montana who were married. interesting enough a Father Gerard Van den Heuvel helped to start a Crosier settlement where you live in the Little Chute area in 1850. This Crosier mission failed and was handed over to the Domincans I am very excited about the Holy Cross Centennial book I am editing. I am looking for interesting writers to tell their story, especially those of outstanding innovations, in industry, medicine and other exceptional careers. Any ideas would be helpful.

I know my parents, knute and gertrude (hofland)sweere visited in hilbert and kimberly as they knew many friends from youth who were part of the holy cross community and social life. I am curious about the relationship of two sweere men marrying sisters and coming to north dakota first???? I know my dad cornelius sweere (half brother to marie sweere sederdahl) came with a refugee ship filled with belgiun and luxenberg refugees. his father sold his farm two years before but was unable to leave for canada where other sweeres settled from his dad's family, so when the usa offered four dutch families passage they came to north dakota to the area around carrington in 1914, and on the boat they heard about Butler so decided to move there in 1917 (this is also dick sweere's story.) I retired last year after 28 years (dick and wilma attended my retirement party)so now i'm trying to write a people's history with as many 'writers' who will share their part of the holy cross church community history which will be 100 years old in march of 2010. As a very young child, i remember attending a home funeral in the john sweere stockfarm livingroom...laid out, but i don't know who it was, maybe a parent of john or margaret. I was born in north dakota and came to butler when i was 3.5 yrs. in 1942. My brother harry was the same age as margaret. one thing is amasing to me, the number of inter-relationships of the original dutch group with the WWI arrivals and later WWII arrivals who are adding to the strength of this rural township. my name is veronica sweere chatterton and i live in a lovely retirement condo in south minneapolis. i took care of my mom, gertrude hofland sweere for a number of years and she found out she could walk faster behind her wheel chair (used only when we took her out site seeing).
