I am looking for information on Maurice Wolf and his wife Frederika Fierlier Wolf. They immigrated from Rotterdam to the Dutch East Indies in 1919. Maurice Wolf was a jeweler and had four shops there. They had two children: Andre Maurice Wolf and Flora Wolf. The family was taken hostage in a Japanese POW camp during WWII. After the war, Maurice and Frederika went back to Holland. Andre Maurice Wolf immigrated to Long Beach, California, USA. Andre Maurice Wolf is my father. I have very little information on him.

Ricki’s maternal grandfather was Robert Smith, whose original name was Andre Maurice Wolf (the son of Maurits “Maurice” Leman Wolf and Frederika “Freddie” Fierlier). Andre was born in Antwerp, Belgium, to Dutch Jewish parents. Maurits was the son of Leman Joel Wolf and Flora van Coevorden. Frederika was the daughter of Nathan Fierlier and Sara Veerman.

Ricki’s maternal grandmother was Elizabeth/Elisabeth Dykstra (the daughter of Albertus/Albert Dykstra and Froukje/Frouke Hager). Elizabeth was born in Hitzum, Friesland, the Netherlands. Albertus was the son of Tamme Dijkstra and Geertje Van Dompselaar. Froukje was the daughter of Klaas Hager and Elizabeth Wiersna.
