where would I start looking for my3x great grandfather, William r Summerland 1818-1850 born in reused-de Meriden Netherlands
Reusel-De Mierden is a mistaken location in many trees, when software ‘corrected’ the place name Holland to Reusel-De Mierden because there is a street named Holland there. Read my article Was your ancestor born in Reusel-De Mierden? Guess again! for more information. The name William R Summerland sounds English rather than Dutch. I recommend you first exhaust all resources in the place where he emigrated to. See the article How to find my immigrant ancestor in the Netherlands? for more tips.
