M, #4794, * b 1876
     Herman Bruggencate was born b 1876 (he naturalised as an adult) in The Netherlands.1
     Possibly this is the Huron Bruggencate, who lived in 1888 in the North Pacific Hotel, San Francisco, California, USA. He was a seaman.2 He was naturalized on 13 Oct 1896 in Seattle.1
     Who knows how this Herman fits into the family?
Hermanus ten Bruggencate could be the same person as Herman Bruggencate. The birth date are closest, and nothing is known about Hermanus, except that he was a sailor. A H. Brugganiana (spelling?) came in 1871 to NYC in the 'Jaira', his profession is listed as mech. (see ).
