In 1858, he married Joanna Catharina Van de Perre (Okegem 1838 - 1914).
They had 12 children, of which Clementina Broeckaert (Okegem 1859 - 1939) was the eldest.
Clementina was the mother of my maternal grandfather Joannes Franciscus Neukermans (Okegem 1886 - Aalst 1961).
The picture of the elderly couple in the left column of my blog represents Karel and his wife. It is one of the oldest family pictures I possess.
My mother has known her great-grandfather for almost 14 years - a not very common occurrence I think.
