Peter Paul Jacobus Jansen

Gerhard came to Chicago in 1913 and listed his brother peter as his destination. This Peter came in 1910 from the Nehterlands. There are many Peter Jansens born in Nijmegen and so it's a bit hard to mail down his birthdate. The Ellis Island papers make reference to his Netherlands contact as being Cornelissen (son of Cornelis) which was Gerhards dad's name so I am pretty sure we have the right Peter here. PJS 3/7/2011
