public profile
Willem was born as Willem van Vessem. His mother Cornelia van Vessem was unmarried at the time.
His father Jan van Essendelft acknowledges him as his son on 11th May 1882 (this normally happened when the father and mother married themself; we don't know why it happened this late in this case).
Willem emigrates as one of 9 children with his parents in 1889 to the United States.
