Pella Family Photo Mirrors Naaktgeboren Twelve-Child Kin
A Rivals page notes a photographer display featuring Mr and Mrs C Naaktgeboren and their twelve children, likening it to Sioux County pioneer Okkee Pool and wife Theattje Prins, whose family of fourteen once lived near Orange City before moving to Minnesota. The clipping from the Alton Democrat lists the Pool children by name and asks readers with matching records to report any additions.
