Dear Carol,
I'm having some difficulties with my computer (overloaded), so you might
not have gotten my reply. Therefor I'll put in another one:
Sofar your information doesn't sound familiar. There might be a
connection, but the surnames of Bruning and Wissing were very common in
those areas.
If anything pops up, I'll let you know!
meanwhile: if you want to check out your Dutch connections, you may find
the homepage of the Dutch Central Bureau for Genealogy interesting. You
can also put in your quetions at the 'Discussion'-pages.
They're located: www.cbg.nl
Wish you luck!
Hetty Combs
