Cornelia and Klaas moved to the province of Drenthe, in the northern part of Holland, a place called Assen. In 1948 the immigrated to Canada and took up farming.
They played a big role in Huibert and Cornelia's decision to come to Canada. They came for a visit to Holland in 1957-58 and talked Huibert and Cornelia into taking the family to the "New World". It was not a very good time then, there was not much work, but they survived and did very well.
