Tombstone Tuesday - The Broersma Brothers
Recently, I've been trying to find out more about the Broersma brothers that left the Netherlands and ended up in Canada: Jack and Peter. They were brothers of Thys and Lawrence Broersma. Both Jack and Peter ended up in Ontario near Toronto, with their wives. Both couples never had any kids though. After many years of searching we finally know which cemeteries they are buried in, and here are their gravestones, thanks to the community of FindAGrave.com

Tjerk Jack Broersma & Baukje Betty Reeder
Tjerk "Jack" Broersma and Baukje "Betty" Reeder were married 96 years ago today on 19 February 1916 in Sneek, the Netherlands. Tjerk would be my GG Uncle, which would make him my Great Grandfather's brother. My Great Grandfather, Laas Broersma is in the far left, and his dad Jetze Broersma is the one with the beard.
