Dedicated to "Sylvia Pickering (nee Van Keimpema)"

Our Van Keimpema family originated from the province of Friesland in the Netherlands; namely Eernewoude in the Het Bildt district. In addition to residing in Eernewoude, our "Van Keimpema Family" have lived in Vrouwenparochie, Barradeel, and Firdgum, Pietersbierum, and Sexbierum, in the Franekeradeel district. Our direct line immigrated to New Norway, Alberta, Canada in 1927, settling in the province of Alberta and later, in the 1970's moving to British Columbia, Canada.
