MARGARETHA JANS WIERINGA (1831-1912) Margaretha marries three times. Her first husband is Edo Wilms Alma, direct descendant from  Pieter Jacobs Alma and Trijntje Arents. Margaretha herself descends from this couple as well (not directly). The second husband of Margaretha is Johannes ten Oever, a direct descendant from Otto Rempts and Hendrikje Jans. Her third husband is Lambertus Wilhelmus Leber. His ancesters come from Winterberg in Germany. More about this family and their connections to the families of Alma, Bot and Bottema on the next page. Her grandfather Cornelis Jans Wieringa is the only child of Jan Redmers and Trijntje Jans staying alive. He doesn’t choose the surname ‘Boelens’, but he chooses ‘Wieringa’ like the name of the stepfather of his wife (Pieter Reinders Wieringa). Maybe Cornelis choose the surname ‘Wieringa’ because his father died very young  (in 1776, Cornelis was only three years old) and he had much contact with Pieter Reinders Wieringa, who had a farm nearby (b). There is no direct connection with Egbert Ottes Wieringa , great-grandson of Otto Rempts and Hendrikje Jans. All this is illustrated in the diagram below.
