The Eising Family Story 1895-1978

From Drenthe to Southern Ontario

Hendrik Eising and Hendrikien Boxen lived through very interesting times. They went from a remote rural village in the Drenthe, the Netherlands, in the late 1800’s to urban living in Southern Ontario in the 1960’s & 70’s, from horse-and-buggy travel to jet planes and moon landings.
