Continuing with my research, I discovered a brother of Remko named Peter.
Peter was an orphan as was Remko.
Peter became a very prominent coal mine owner/operator in the state of Wyoming, county
of Sheridan.
He was the employer of hundreds of people.
Later, when coal ran out, he became a banker in Sheridan.
Peter's daughter, Lorna married Willmerd Simpson,an attorney in Cody,Wyoming.
Two sons were born to them.
One son, Alan Kooi Simpson also an attorney retired in 1996 after a distinguished
twenty year service as a US Senator from Wyoming.
The University of Wyoming has a tremendous amount of family documents including photos
of the family.
