[293] HISTORY: Off the coast of Husum Germany was a large island, called Nordstrand or Nordstrant. Here, Volkje Juriens or Jurrianse was born. In 1634 a terrific gale hit the Island of Nordstgrand, causing the sea to break down the island. Originally the island was quite large, but after this catastrope, only the high ground remained. After the destruction of the island, many of the survivors were taken to the mainland for refuge. Voalke was probably taken tot he town of Husum, which is directly east of the islands. It is believed that she lost both of her parents in this storm. She had one sister, Annetje Juriaens, who was the wife of Andries Herbertsen Constapel. She witnessed Volkje's marriage to Jan Fransse in Holland. Here Jan Fransse met Volkje Jurians and they fell in love. Before they got married, they'd already made arrangements on March 28, 1639 with Kiliaen Van Renselaer concerning immediate passage to and settlement in the colonly of Rensselaerswyck. The colonists agreed to remain there for four years. This document also stated that their "ship now lies ready," but they didn't set sail until after Jan Fransse and Volkje Juriens were married on Mary 15, 1639. The church banns of April 30, 1639 are translated thus: "Appeared as before, Jan Franz from Housum, sailor, age 30 years, living in the Corte Tuijnstraat, having no parents but assisted by his cousin, Anna Jans, and Volckje Juriaens (daughter?) from Noorstrant, aged about 21 years, of the same (street), having no parents, but assisted by her acquaintance, Isaack Pietersen." They were married in the Dutch Reformed Church at Nieuwe Kerk at Amsterdam, Holland on May 15, 1639. After the wedding they set sail on the ship, "Den Harlinck" in May 1639 and arrived in New Amsterdam on July 7, 1639; SOURCE: Van Hooser Family in the United States, by Joyce Lindstrom, page 1; RESEARCH: Sherry Smith.
