To find names easily at this long page: Hit the keys Ctrl+F at the same time. A small box will open at the right top. Type in the name or a part of it your searching for and it will find all you re looking for. (BTW: this works on many pages!!)

Beware!: spelling variants are unavoidable so be creative please. Some last or first names are very different from the names used at the USA or Netherland. First names are spelled as at the CastleGarden Transcriptions. Last names are changed as known in Dutch, That means: a VANDIJK will be spelled as a "van Dijk", a TENBROEK will be spellen as a "ten Broek", a VANDERLAARSE will be spelled as a "van der Laarse". As soon as we have added all passengers we will add as much as we can the spellings in later years. Thank you for understanding.

We stayed to the alphabetic order of Castle Garden. So VANDERLAARSE = van der Laarse would be sorted under "L" at the Netherlands, but under "V" at Castle Garden. "van der Laarse" As we stayed to the Castle Garden way we will find the VANDERLAARSE the family findable under"V".

The goal of this project is to add all first Dutch settlers of Pella, Iowa (as far as I know now in 2017 - 903 persons) and their family to WikiTree. We want to document and give, as complete as possible, a profile to those people that followed Hendrik Scholte in 1847 on the ships Nagasaki, Maasstroom, Pieter Floris and the Catharina Jackson, leaving the Netherlands in or about April 1847 for Baltimore, USA, just to keep their memory alive, as we believe they deserve that. For what reason they left The Netherlands, they were pioneers, notably and not afraid to face an uncertain future in a far, unknown land.

For a start, that is a big goal. Many more people followed in the subsequent years, following the first brave emigrants. These people who came in the next several years, connecting with the original settlers and probably will provide additional information about their lives and the first settlers, are very welcome to be added here as well. Giving room under "Others followed after 1847". Including families in Pella or nearby Marion and Mahaska counties after 1847. Every addition will help us and learn us more about all these families. Thank you!!

As I know from experience there are many still alive at this moment having info and images of many of these that took the risk to cross the ocean, so it is time to add as much as we can NOW.

Thank you for all info you can add.

Feel very free to contact W.Robertson or little me if you have questions, any information, knowledge or images. Much appreciated!

Introduction and short history

Living at Europe was rural in the early years of the 19th century. Emperor Napoleon ruled a great part of Europe including the Netherlands, The Belgian Revolution of the '30s took the lives of young sons and the always free-at-mind Dutch at any faith or religion, was changing under the new ruler, who was persecuting different.

The Dutch were not the only ones emigrating; a larger group of Germans were also emigrating to the "promised land", the USA. The newspapers of that time in Belgium indicate many Germans left Europe.

It is said the failed harvests in the Netherlands were one reason to emigrate. Of course people were looking for a better live. Also the unemployed left. Starvation was high. Many had no roots to stay for.

But is wrong to think the Dutch who were leaving The Netherlands were all poor. People needed money to pay for their journey and had to prove they were able to pay. Obviously the unhappy but well off ones were leaving. War, repressing religious worship, child mortality, and a lot more made people wander.

Those brave ones, ready to leave their home country, their family, their friends and their mother language, on religious grounds, facing a journey that could take everything, even their lives or the live of their family - these brave ones were reviled and joked about in the Netherlands, as the "Landverhuizers" were seen as cowards and not taking responsability to rebuild the Netherlands after the wars the Netherlands faced the years before.

Hendrik Peter Scholte, or how this all started

Preparations

"Under construction":

Hendrik became a reverant, Leiden, his politic engagements, friends, forbidden to preach, he and Raalte. His family.

In 1846 there was a group under Hendrik Scholte resembling to think an talk about the possibilites to emigrate to the USA.

Frontliner was Hendrik Barendregt. He left the Netherlands in 1846 on the ship Wakoma, with (needs to be filled in). It was, according to his letter to Rev. H. Scholte - a very rough journey, with very bad wheater at the start. But in the US they had a lot of help from friendly people.

At a following meeting of the Landverhuizers in 1846 in Utrecht, a board was chosen. They also were listing and inventing who was willing to buy land and how much.

Rules were set too. Catholics were excluded.

These people made themselves ready to cross the ocean to an unknown continent, taking big risks, leaving house, goods and family behind to find a better life and follow their dreams. The American Dream......

Between 800 and 900 people sailed to Baltimore on the ships Nagasaki, Pieter Floris, Catharina Jackson and the Maasstroom, following Rev.Scholte. Many did come earlier or came soon after.

Journey at sea

Henry Scholte prepared all thoroughly. He departed earlier than his followers and on a faster ship to make preparations in the USA before his followers would arrive. Hendrik's traveling on a much more faster ship caused some criticism of his followers. The journeys those days at the ships were very hard. Twenty people died at sea and four babies were born at sea on the four named ships.^[2]

The group that followed him first, a group about 900 people, followed in Apr. 1847 on the ships:

1. Bark Nagasaki
2. Fregatschap/Frigate ship Maasstroom
3. Pieter Floris
4. Fregatschip/Frigate ship Catharina Jackson

Citing from the autobiography written by Jan Hospers: "My desire to emigrate was increased also by social relations with true Christian people who were rare in that day. In the winter of 1848‑1849 A. C. Kuyper, J. Maasdam, and myself united to act as a committee to promote a second exodus to North America. Kuyper had Rotterdam and vicinity; Maasdam took Utrecht and North Holland; and I had South Holland, North Brabant, and Gelderland."^[9]
