February 7 1628

On that day, Petrus Straetman died in Okegem. He had been married to Cornelia Booms, who preceeded him in death in 1621.

Petrus and Cornelia had six children. The third one was Adrianus, born in Okegem in 1604, who, in 1636, married Margaretha Van der Kelen, born in Pamel. She died in Okegem in 1670.

Adrianus and Margaretha had six children too. The youngest one was Niclaas Straetman. He died in Okegem in 1719. He was married to Catharina De Winne (Okegem 1661 - 1730).

Again, there were six children. I descend from the third child, Anna Straetman (Okegem 1691 - 1759) and from the fifth child Joanna Straetman (Okegem 1697 - 1762).

The line has been described in previous posts, including "January 17 1660".
