I was born in Arnhem and therefore an Arnhems “meisje” (little girl in Dutch and the name of an Arnhems cookie).
My father Richard Dagevos was born in Dutch East Indies and my mother Jannie Ykema in Sleen, The Netherlands.
We moved to Hilversum when I was at junior school.
When I was a young girl I remember I rode on my bicycle to school with my friend Quirine. I was telling her the story about my father, looking for his mother who stayed behind in the Dutch East Indies. My friend asked me, why don’t you look for her. It was the beginning of a journey through time.
It is a tragic story.
When World War II broke out, my grandparents were separated as my grandfather Eduard Theodorus Cornelis Dagevos (1912-1984) became a prisoner of war and was forced to work for the Burma railway line. My grandmother Corrie Erna (Spruit) Djaruman (1915-1996) and the four children had to go in one of the Japanese camps in the East Indies. The story goes that a Japanese colonel fell in love with my grandmother and told her that her husband had passed away.
My grandmother and the children escaped from the camp and towards the end of the war she fell in love with Raden Djaruman with whom she got her first son, Haryono. When my grandfather came back from the war he discovered that his wife remarried and they decided to divorce. My father and his two brothers left Indonesia together with my grandfather and his new wife to The Netherlands.
My father has never seen his mother again, only on a television broadcast by Polygon in the fifties where he saw her coming out from a plane in New York with her husband.
My father and his youngest brother Lewis tried everything in their power to find their mother, but didn’t succeed.
It was eventually me who found the second born son of my grandmother and her second husband in 1998. Too late, as she passed away two years before. But the foundation was laid for my interest in genealogy.
There are many intriguing stories in my family tree which I love to share.
I was born in The Netherlands and emigrated at the age of 38 years to South Africa together with my husband.
It was one and a half year later where I met the love of my life and soulmate, with whom I married. Together we emigrated to Italy, back to South Africa and since 2014 we happily live in Spain together with our Dachshund Sausage.
After my secretarial education at Philips I began as a secretary for them. After 8 months I left. I became an entrepreneur.
When I met Lee we owned 4 restaurants in South Africa and Spain, a wine farm with guesthouse which we all sold.
My hobbies are cooking, walking, sporting, swimming, genealogy, learning Spanish, writing, knitting and photography.
I have my own cooking blog on my Facebook page CucinaCarolina.
According to the DNA-test, I'm 70.9% Europan and 29.1% Asian.

Zoals je weet zijn we heel druk bezig met het veranderen van allerlei templates, categorieen, pagina's etc. en daarbij is iets niet helemaal goed gegaan. Ik kan alleen de aanpassing zelf niet doen op jouw pagina, maar zou jij de Template:NetherlandsChallenge (die niet bestaat) weer terug kunnen veranderen naar Template:Dutch Roots Challenge alsjeblieft?
Ik heb het veranderd.
Met hartelijke groet, Carolina
We zijn heel blij om te zien dat je nog steeds actief bent op WikiTree en dat je ook bezig bent met Nederlandse Profielen. We zouden graag met elkaar een nieuwe impuls willen geven aan het Dutch Roots Project om Nederlanders binnen WikiTree beter op de kaart te zetten. Het Dutch Roots Project heeft al meer dan 50.000 profielen onder beheer en in totaal zijn er al meer dan 500.000 Nederlandse profielen op WikiTree Binnen dit project houden we ons bezig met het bewaken van de kwaliteit van deze Nederlandse profielen en anderen te helpen daarmee. We zouden naast deze taken ook andere zaken willen oppakken, maar hiervoor hebben we meer vrijwilligers nodig. Daarom deze vragen aan jou:
1) Heb je interesse om mee te helpen als vrijwilliger bij het Dutch Roots Project? 2) Zo ja, gaat je voorkeur uit naar een specifieke taak binnen het Dutch Roots Project? (denk bijvoorbeeld aan vertalen, sourcen etc of iets anders dat je zou willen aanpakken.)
Wij hopen dat je ons een reactie wilt sturen en voel het niet als een verplichting om iets te gaan doen. Wij willen alleen een inventarisatie maken van wie we kunnen vragen om ons te helpen met bepaalde activiteiten.
Vriendelijk bedankt,
Margreet, namens het Dutch Roots Project
Ik zou dat zeker willen doen.
Ik onderzoek graag. Is sourcen dan het beste?
Met hartelijke groet, Carolina
Thank you for contributing to my tree during the WikiTree Challenge this week! Yvette Hoitink
With kind regards, Carolina.
We hebben je deze keer echt nodig! Als je tijd hebt, help dan alsjeblieft.
WT organiseert dit jaar wekelijkse challenges onder de naam: “Year of Accuracy” We hebben er al veel aan gewerkt maar volgende week wordt een bijzondere.
Of je het nu leuk vindt of niet, we hebben deze week jouw hulp nodig om te laten zien waartoe wij als DRP in staat zijn - vanaf woensdag 9 juni en het is gedurende een week erna, start waarschijnlijk laat voor ons Nederlanders (na middernacht) - de uitdaging is om bakstenen muren neer te halen voor de Nederlandse genealoog Yvette Hoitink.
Ze deed geweldig onderzoek naar haar familie. Deze uitdaging gaat over laten zien dat het beter kan!
We hebben natuurlijk al DRP-leden die meedoen aan de challenge, maar de meeste deelnemers zijn Amerikanen. Ze hebben hulp nodig bij vertalingen, het vinden van betrouwbare bronnen, Nederlandse naamgevingsconventies (omdat we vóór 1811 in profielen zullen duiken en waarschijnlijk patroniemen moeten gebruiken en nooit tussennamen) en het toevoegen van biografieën. We zijn er zeker van dat buitenlanders hulp nodig hebben. En leer veel door deze uitdaging, maar ze hebben wat hulp van ons nodig.
Alsjeblieft, je hulp wordt zeer op prijs gesteld.
Om mee te doen: Schrijf je in HIER.
We really need you this time! If you have time, please help.
WT is organizing weekly challenges this year under the name: “Year of Accuracy” We worked on many before but next week will be special.
If you like it or not, we need your help this week just to show what we as DRP are capable of - starting on Wednesday the 9th of June and it is during a week after, starts probably late for us Dutch (after midnight) - the challenge is to bring down brick walls for Dutch genealogist Yvette Hoitink.
She did great research on her family. This challenge is about showing we can do better!
We have, of course, already DRP members joining the challenge, but most participants are Americans. They will need help on translations, finding reliable sources, Dutch Naming Conventions (as we will dive into profiles before 1811 and probably need to use patronymics and never use Middle Names) and adding biographies. We are sure foreigners need help. And learn lots because of this challenge but they need some help from us.
Please, your help is much appreciated.

Help!
Eef, Bea en/and Astrid.
We hebben net een nieuwe teckel pup die geen goede start had maar nu gelukkig gezond is en je kunt je voorstellen dat het een klein handenbindertje is.
Daarnaast heb ik thuis overlegt met vrouwlief want die was niet gelukkig dat ik de laatste keer elke minuut van de dag besteedde aan een WT project.
Maar, zo’n dringend verzoek kon ik deze keer niet naast me neerleggen.
Dus, ik ga me er voor inzetten. Al heb ik ook wat sociale verplichtingen staan.
Wel even wat vragen.
Begint het voor ons Dutchies dan op 10 juni?
En de link om je “hier” in te schrijven, werkt niet.
Met hartelijke groet, Carolina
In de bevrijdingsdag challenge is ook het profiel van Johan Hendrik Weidner aangemaakt, de eerste man van Dutch-Paris. Ik probeer dat profiel wat verder aan te vullen, en ben op zoek naar informatie over zijn echtgenotes. Ik heb gelezen dat jij "Gewone Helden" hebt aangeschaft. Ik zou graag willen weten of gegevens over zijn huwelijken daarin te vinden zijn. Met name over de afloop van zijn eerste huwelijk met Elisabeth Cartier, en zijn tweed huwelijk met Naomi ??? in de USA. Zou jij willen kijken of daarover iets te vinden is?
Dat ga ik voor je doen. Ik laat het je weten.
Fijne avond!
Met hartelijke groet, Carolina
Heel, heel erg bedankt, zo heb ik heel wat keus aan citaten om in het profiel te verwerken.
In mijn speurtocht naar meer informatie over Joseph Lejeune kwam ik de volgende websites tegen.

Hopelijk heb je er wat aan.
Met vriendelijke groet, Carolina
Oorlogslevens kende ik al, maar dan met name m.b.t. in WW II overledenen. Blijkt dus ook over verzetsmensen een bron, die ik ook voor hen dan zeker zal raadplegen.
Hartelijke groet, Jan
Reuze blij mee.
Met hartelijke groet, Carolina
The G2G will be started around that time, but if you would like to join, you can already add your name to the participants list
Greets from the Dutch Roots Challenge team ;)

I reached out in G2G for assistance as this error keeps on flagging up in the Data Doctor Project.
With kind regards, Carolina.
I understand what you are saying however in the Data Doctor Project where I participated in the Spring Clean-a-Thon 2021, it comes up as an error in the location.
Can I please ask you to reach out to someone who can clarify if you are correct as my knowledge doesn't go this far and this profile won't flag up as an error in the future?
With kind regards, Carolina.

in 2019 heb je me benaderd vanwege de originele foto van Achter de Grote Kerk 31. Het huis van Bauke Ykema en Fokje Epema.
Ik kwam recent jouw aanbod tegen. Voor zover ik kan nagaan heb ik daar niet op gereageerd en waarvoor mijn excuses. Om een ingang te vinden voor ons contact heb ik met aangemeld voor WIKItree. Bijzonder interessante site moet ik zeggen.
Nou, ik ben benieuwd naar je reactie. Een fijne dag verder en met vriendelijke groet van Siem Akkerman l ADGK 25 te Leeuwarden
Ik zie dat het meer dan 3 jaar geleden is dat we contact hadden en daarna niet meer.
Henk vertelde me dat je een onscherpe foto hebt van het huis en dat jij daar nu woont. Klopt dat?Ik heb je een verzoek gestuurd om tot je Trusted List te worden toegelaten. Dan kan ik je de foto als een e-card sturen.
Met hartelijke groet, Carolina

It was exciting and interesting to do.
I got to know more about the members of the Dutch Roots Challenge project team members.
And I would like to thank you and other Wikitree members very much.
I love the use of Wikitree. It is a powerful source. Especially because it shares the sources of entries on profiles. And it is important that it is free and open to anyone.
I will keep promoting it.
With warmest wishes for you all.
Carolina
With kind regards, Carolina
Wow, thank you for joining. First of all, yes it happens that two people are searching for the same. Mostly people announce on who they start at G2G after the persons are announced. And after a short time there are many family members having a profile and is the change little you re searching for the same. We re most of the time just with a small, but very enthousiastic group.
Everyone is also welcome to add images to the profiles.
The profiles we start with will be announced shortly before the challenge starts.
I hope I answered your questions? :)
Welcome to the fun Carolina. I hope you will enjoy it.
