Sije Sjoukes Noteboom is my 8th great-grandfather on my father’s mother’s side of the family. Sije Sjoukes Noteboom was born in approximately 1680 in the Netherlands. As an adult he was a member of the Dutch Reformed Church. His occupation was that of a master carpenter. Sije married Sijke Andries on October 9, 1702. Both took confession in the Dutch Reform Church in 1707 in Oenkerk, Friesland, Netherlands. They had one child they named Sjouke Sijes Noteboom. Sije died in about 1728 in Oenkerk.[^1]
