He emigrated on 14 April 1906 to Canada.

In 1911 Henry Hooyeveen (27 y, born in October 1884 in Holland, single) was living in Moose Jaw Sub-Districts 16-99 in the Canadian south central province Saskewatchan.

On 7 June 1912 his siblings Broer (1891, Nieuw Amsterdam) and Roelfina Hendrika Hoogeveen (1893, Nieuw Amsterdam) emigrated to the USA.

In the fall of 1912 Henry returned to Holland. It cost him $110.00 to travel second class from Swift Current to Holland. He remained there until the spring of 1913, when he returned bringing his bride.

It's very likely that they sailed to Canada with their son Henderikus Hoogeveen and his fresh wife Eelje Veldman, who immigrated Canada in 1913.

Henry and Eelje Hoogeveen had in Canada, very probably in or near the Dutch tiny community of Cramersburg, in the southwestern part of the southern central Canadian province Saskatchewan the children Grace (Geesje, 1914, Shackleton), Bert (1915, Cramersburg), Dolly, Styne (1917-1929, drown in the Saskatchewan River) and Eelje.
