November 4 1792

I forgot to mention that Petrus Asselman died on that day in Okegem, where he had been baptised on November 19 1729. He had been alderman (schepen) of Okegem in 1765 - 1768 and in 1770 - 1773 and apparently was poor (he had to borrow money). He had 11 children, four with his first wife and seven with his second wife Maria Francisca De Schepper (Iddergem 1744 - Okegem 1815).

Long-lived Franciscus Asselman (Okegem 1769 - 1865) was a son of Maria Francisca and the father of Andreas (Okegem 1795 - 1875). Andreas had five children, all with his first wife Alexandrina Van der Speeten (Okegem 1795 - 1831).

As mentioned before, their daughter Catharina Asselman (Okegem 1823 - 1892) was the mother of my great-grandfather Hermilianus Neukermans (Okegem 1855 - 1932) whose father Amandus Neukermans passed away very young (Okegem 1824 - 1857).
