The 4 children
Hi Queen LC
My great great grandmother, Augusta Magdalena Ligeon, is one of the four children the plantation was named after. I am still learning more about the family myself. I'm at a disadvantage to do this, living in Australia myself. I do not recall anything about a Frits Mack Nack so far in my research. I'll need to look further to find Manjo in my research also. Sno and cairo are definitely names connected to my research. One of my cousins is married to man surnamed Felter, from Surinam origins.
The siblings I have of Augusta are Adolf, Matheus and Josephina. Their mother was Elisabeth Ligeon. Elisabeth's mother was Dorothea Ligeon.
Our family are Brijbag's and Nijbroek's.
