== | == Emigration from Zeeland<br> == | ||
Zeeland is probably the province from where the most people emigrated in the 19th century. Many members of the seceder churches emigrated in the 1840′s. They followed rev. Cornelis van der Meulen to the newly founded colony of Holland, MI. | |||
Even more people emigrated at the end of the 19th century. Thousands of people from Zeeland left to find a new home. Many people from Zeeuws-Vlaanderen settled in the areas around the Great Lakes like Michigan and Wisconsin. Other people settled in New York state. | |||
Lists of emigrants can be found online http://www.zeeuwengezocht.nl/en/ | |||
