I am reading a biography about Hoeksema and I´ve found this: According to the population records of the Gemeente Hoogezand-Sappemeer, Herman Hoeksema, registered under the name ‘Harm,’ was born on 13 March 1886 in the dorp (town) of Hoogezand in the province of Groningen (Mulder 2001). However, according to his daughter-in-law Gertrude, he was actually born on 12 March, but ‘his father neglected to register Harm’s birth with the town clerk, and when, at his wife’s insistence, he finally got around to it, he registered the date as March 13, which date Harm always afterward celebrated as his birthday.
