April 26 1758

Bernardus Broeckaert was born in Wetteren, a son to Joannes Josephus Broeckaert (Wetteren 1726 - 1760) and to Maria Livina Matthijs, born in Wetteren ca 1730.

Bernardus married Maria Livina Venneman (Schelderode 1763 - Serskamp 1825) and died in Serskamp on January 10 1802.

Bernardus and Maria Livina were the parents of Eugenius Broeckaert (Serskamp 1792 - 1846) whom we met a few posts ago.
