Henry Vander Rozenberg (my great-great-grandfather) was born in 1848 in Oldebrock, The Netherlands. He and his wife Derrekje Dkkuizan Rozenberg (abt 1840-1983), emigrated to the United States and settled in Pella, Lake Prairie Township, Marion County in 1869. They remained in the Pella area raising seven children--one unknown child, Dene, Mary, Benjamin, William, Henry, and my great-grandmother Maggie Rozenberg (b 1884) who married Leendert (alias Leonard, Lene)Wielaard (b. 1880), the proprietor of the L. Wielaard Variety Store in Pella.
