I am interested in learning more about the Dutch East Indies, In specific the last names Ophof, Wolff van Wulfing and Kolmus.

Also in any good books re: Dutch East Indies, or more in particular about Holland American Plantation Company, (HAPM - Hollandsch Amerikaansche Plantage Maatschappij), or the Japanese occupation years.

my email is tstock@tiago.com (Tiago Ophof Stock)

there are made some international PORTAL projects, maybe you can find collaborators there who can help you too:

* http://www.geni.com/projects/International-Indonesian-Portal/9228
* http://www.geni.com/projects/International-Dutch-Portal/5657

And if you read, write a/o speak, understand some Dutch you might like it to be member of the
* http://www.geni.com/projects/Portaal-voor-Nederlandstaligen/4077

There are always Dutch geni-users -like myself- who are able to help you finding more information about the family-names you mention. groet, jMVu.
