In the item Enschede NL 1 we alraedy could read that Theodore Henry Platvoet imigrates in 1847 from Enschede to America with 3 persons. Members of the today-family think there probably was a mixed up about the postdelivery between two cousins who lived close to each other and had the same name. Because of this one of them changed his name. An other rumor tells that 2 of Platvoet were in love of the same lady and one of them changed his name so he would not associated with this affair. |
