This is the birth certificate that proofs that my grandfather had been entered into the Birth Registers of the Municipality of Rotterdam in the year 1886. The certificate shows that he was born on the June 21, 1886. The father of my grandfather Jurrie van Eeuwen was Pieter van Eeuwen (my great grandfather) and the mother was Barbera Abresch. He was baptized in the Great Church on the 11th of July 1886.

A very old picture of my grandfather, the first probably. He was about 5 -6 years old then.

Her father was Willem Jacobus Gerrit Suiker (last name meaning Sugar)  and her mother Adriaantje Niemandsverdriet (literally meaning 'Nobody's Sorrow') . She was baptized on August 17, 1888.
