According to a copy of the death certificate issued by the State of Nebraska, Jennie Rozendal Krumwied was born in Holland, more specifically, after researching, in St. Annaparochie, Het Bildt, Friesland, the Netherlands, on 15 Oct 1875. Her parents were Pieter Jarigs Rozendal and Grietje Korttje Rozendal.
According to the 1900 United States census, Jennie came with her parents and five of her eleven siblings, (the remaining 6 siblings having been born in the USA) to the United States in 1880. (This year coincides with the information on her death certificate.) The 02 Jun 1880 US census finds Jennie and her birth family living in Leavenworth, KS. Her birth family also lived in Iowa for a time, before settling in Nebraska. It was in Omaha, Nebraska that Jennie married Charles Krumwied. According to her death certificate, Jennie spent the remaining 53 years of her life in Omaha. Together Charles and Jennie had eight children, one of whom was my grandmother. Jennie died of carcinoma of the stomach on 7 Apr 1944 at 6 a.m. She was buried at Mt. Hope Cemetery, Omaha, Nebraska, under the direction of C. C. Haynes, funeral director. Jennie Rozendal Krumwied was 68 years, 5 months and 22 days at the time of her death.
