In the year 1866, on the twenty-second of the month of January...in the municipality of Menaldumadeel, Friesland, Taeke Feddes Ferwerda, aged 30 years, kuiper [cooper], living in Dronrijp, declared to us, that on the twenty-second of the month of January, at two in the night, in Dronrijp, a child of the female gender is born from his housewife Idske Minnes de Vries, without occupation, living in Dronrijp, to which child is given the name of Grietje.
So, Grietje was born in Dronrijp, Menaldumadeel, Friesland, on 22 Jan 1866...at 2 A.M.!
Here it is, with the real Dutch names. Margaret is a common Americanization of the name Grietje. Or maybe I should say Grietje is a common Dutch nickname for the name Margareta. Taeke was Americanized as Theodore. Ida was likely named for her maternal grandmother, Idske. This says she was born 22 Jan. Let's find the actual document to make sure. (Actual document translation above, also photo.)
