My Dutch side of my family:
 
These are the dates and names I have for my family members so far.
 
Louise Henrietta Fennell (nee Gildemeester) born Amsterdam Holland around 1890, died November 30 1936 Vancouver BC Canada
 
John August Gildemeester Born Amsterdam Holland around 1885, died April 5 1975 Vancouver BC Canada  First wife, Ethel Mary Gildemeester born Canada around 1888, died November 4 1918. Daughter Ethel born same day as mother died.  Ethel (daughter) as everyone knew her by died Feb. 1995 Her birth name was Anna Louise. Upon her death her full name was Ethel McKillop. Second wife, Evelyn. do not know when born or died(sorry)
 
Herman Gildemeester Born Amsterdam Holland July 16 1881 died Unknown.  Wife Minnie Laura Born England around June 1883  died unknown
 
Johan Herman Gildemeester Born Amsterdam Holland around 1854 died July 25 1926 Vancouver BC Canada
 
Anna Gertruida Burdett (nee Gidlemeester) Born Amsterdam Holland around 1897, died Vancouver BC Canada Jan 8 1974. I do know that she had one daughter named . Anna(nicknamed Bubby)who married a Don Gill. Do not no any other info on Anna (Bubby) and her husband Don Gill.
 
Now lets see if we can peice all this info together to make it the correct family.
If Johan Herman Gildemeester is my great great grandfather he brought his family over to Canada from Holland around 1903/06 .  He was also a Lutheran Minister.
 
I also do not have a name for my great great grandmother to help in the search, sorry
