Church in Grijpskerk





I found these using Google maps street view.

Post Cards of Grijpskerk 1900

 
This is a post card of Grijpskerk from 1900. It shows a school and a church. Using google maps/street view you can still view this church standing today.

 Most likely our ancestors who lived in Grijpskerk attended school and church here.
