Produktserie: DAVID CORNEL DEJONG - böcker, liv och verk

He was born in 1901 as David de Jong in the village of Blija in the northern part of the Dutch northern province Friesland, son of carpenter Remmeren de Jong (1876 Wierum, Westdongeradeel, Friesland - 1967 Grand Rapids, Michigan) and Jantje de Jong (1876 Wierum - 1953 Grand Rapids, MI). The family moved before 1906 from Blija to the more northeast located seadyke village Wierum.

David had three brothers: Remmeren 'Raymond' (1902 Blija - 1982 Grandville, Kent, MI), Meindert (1906 Wierum - 1991 Allegan, Michigan) and Cornelis David 'Neil'(1911 Wierum - 2008 Ada, Kent, MI).

The Christian Reformed family De Jong emigrated on 16 May 1914 from Wierum, Friesland, Netherlands to Grand Rapids, Kent County, Michigan, United States. They arrived on 2 June 1914 on the SS Nieuw Amsterdam at the port of New York, Ellis Island.

In Grand Rapids they lived successively in four houses in the vicinity of Wealthy Street and Diamond Avenue. The De Jongs joined the nearby Dennis Avenue Christian Reformed Church. The four boys Americanized quickly, but initially endured hazing as newly-arrived immigrants.
