My mother's ancestors came from the east of The Netherlands, an area called Twente, close to the German border. They were farmers, shopkeepers and tradesmen and came from the surroundings of Haaksbergen, a small village close to the city of Enschede. The Leferink's were 'honkvast' stayed at home, contrary to the wandering Bosmans clan.
I'm very grateful to my relatives and in particular the late Wim Wissink, for the enormous support and findings I was able to collect for my family tree.
