April 12 1727

Augustinus Van Eeckhoudt was born in Gooik, a son to Nicolaus (Gooik ca 1686 - 1770) and Maria Bellemans (Gooik 1696 - 1784). In 1757 he married Joanna Maria Janssens (Pamel 1729 - 1790).

They had seven children, of which Petronella Van Eeckhoudt (Pamel 1771 - 1828) was the youngest.

Petronella was the mother of Maria Elisabeth Van der Sleyen (Pamel 1811 - 1860), oftentimes named before in this blog.

Once more, Maria Elisabeth was my great-great-grandmother on my mother's side and my great-great-great-grandmother on my father's side.
