November 28 1818

Franciscus Muylaert was born in Nieuwerkerken. He was a son of Jacobus (Nieuwerkerken 1779 - 1858) and of Barbara Schouppe (Aalst 1781 - Nieuwerkerken 1857).

Franciscus married Coleta Vlaeminck (Denderhoutem 1813 - 1891) in 1847.

They had three children of which my great-grandmother Blondina Muylaert (Denderhoutem 1849 - Pamel 1942) was the eldest.

But Blondina had four half-sisters and one half-brother : her mother Coleta was the widow of Baeyens Josephus (Denderhoutem 1805 - 1846) when she married Franciscus Muylaert.
