Jacob van dam b: October 1868 probably in Noord-Holland, maybe Amsterdam area.

Family said father's name was Sijmen but on one record Jacob wrote his name: Jacob G. van Dam. The family knows very little.

Jacob had two brothers: Pieter van dam born between 1864-1865 and

Alick (family thought name was Alien) van dam b: 1867.

The entire family immigrated (I think mother, father and 3 boys, but could be sisters too). One record says immigrated 1881 (on Census) but I think closer to 1887(info from another Census). They settled in the Chicago area.

Any help you can give would be appreciated.
