The Seize Quartiers of Toni Marie Mulder

1. Peter P. Mulder (1876-1947) of Holland, Michigan. Descendant of the Mulder family of Groningen, as well as several other Groningen families, including notably the Boven's of Midwolda. The earliest ancestor of the Mulders is Willem Hendriks, probably born around 1750.

2. Bertha Smith (1885-1959) of Holland, Michigan. Ancestry largely untraced, but most likely of entirely Dutch descent. 

3. Henry J. Jacobs (1896-1976) of Holland, Michigan. Descendant of the Jakobs and Timmers families of Grafschaft Bentheim. 

4. Johanna Boeve (1903-1990) of Holland, Michigan. Descendant of various Gelderland and Noord-Brabant families. 

5. John Albert Den Uyl (1878-1927) of Michigan. Descendant of the den Uijl family of Ouddorp, Zuid-Holland, as well as some Zeeland families. Through his mother, he descends from the Renschers family of Winterswijk, Gelderland, and a connection could possibly be traced to Yvette Hoitink, the author of the Dutch Genealogy Blog. 

6. Cornelia Speet (1880-1946) of Holland, Michigan. Descendant of the Speet family of Grafschaft Bentheim, as well as apparently a clutch of Overijissel and Drenthe families. 

7. Fern Philander Barnes (1896-1964) of Allegan County, Michigan. Descendant of the Barnes family of unknown origin, although his paternal grandfather was apparently born in Canada. His mother and her family were from Ohio, and their ancestry is unknown too. 

8. Ida Della Rininger (1905-1983) of Elkhart, Indiana and Allegan County, Michigan. Descendant of a great many interesting lineages. Her great-grandfather was an immigrant from Germany, and another great-grandfather was killed at the Siege of Petersburg. Through her mother she appears to descend from some New Jersey Baptists and Pennsylvania Germans, as well as from the contentious Reverend Joseph Hull and the infamous Alice Martin Bishop, a murderess of Plymouth Colony. 

9-12 are unknown 

13. Desiderio Castaneda (circa 1840-after 1900) of Mexico and Cameron County, Texas. Ancestry unknown, but likely of Mexican descent, as he was apparently born in Mexico. 

14. Brigida Reyes (circa 1855-after 1920) of Cameron County, Texas. Ancestry largely unknown, but she was probably a daughter of Pedro Correa and Jesusa Reyes, which would explain why her surname seems to rotate between the two in the records. She was possibly a descendant through her mother of Melchor De Los Reyes de Ecija, whose descendant José Lazaro Reyes (also possibly an ancestor) was apparently the first Reyes to settle in Spanish Colonial Texas. Supposedly they descended from Alfonso Enríquez, grandson of King Alfonso XI of Castile and Leon. 

15. Bruno Solis Trevino (1880-1954) of Cameron County, Texas. Descendant of the Solis family of Matamoros, Tamaulipas, and a great-great grandson of Juan Jose Solis, grantee of porción 107 in Starr County, Texas and founder of El Soliseño, Mexico. Supposedly a descendant of Captain Juan Cavazos del Campo, an early Spanish colonist and Mayor of Monterrey, Nuevo León. Surnames in his ancestry include Hinojosa, Salinas, Rivas, Villarreal, and Canales. 

16. Hijinia Gonzalez (1887-1967) of Cameron County, Texas. Descendant of several Mexican families in the Matamoros, Tamaulipas area. Earliest traceable ancestor is her great-great grandfather Bernabe Gonzales. Surnames in her ancestry include Ayala, Conde, de los Santos, and Servantes.
