United States of America

Several Jolink emigrated to the United States of America, but not all Jolink in the U.S.A. descend from a Jolink. One group of Jolink in the U.S.A. descends from a Joling.

A large group of Jolink descends from Derk Jan Jolink & Hillegonda Arends. Both were born in the Netherlands, emigrated to the U.S.A. and died there.

Both immigrated through Ellis Island. They did so independently of each other. They married in the United States of America. They got five children, and all married, often but not always with partners of Dutch descent.

Reinder Jans Joling

Reinder Jans Joling emigrated to the United States of America when he was eight years old. He arrived from Rotterdam in New York on 8 Nov 1881. The Castle Garden transcription list his name as Beinder Joling; the ‘B’ instead of ‘B’ is a typical transcription error.

Reinder arrived together with his parents and older sister. The family's origin is listed as Germany. This is correct. Reinder Jans Joling and his siblings were born in the Netherlands, but their parents were born in Germany.

Reinder Joling's descendants know him as Frank Jolink.

The family members that arrived on 8 Nov 1881 are

The family had more children. Some had died young. The three oldest, all girls, were all already married. The family of the oldest, Neef-Joling stayed in the Netherlands. Velting-Joling, the family of the second-oldest, immigrated independently. Dutch archives are sparse on details about Luchies-Joling, the family of the third daugther, perhaps they immigrated too.
