April 30 1865

Franciscus Asselman died in Okegem, where he had been born on September 24 1769. In 1794 he married Maria Anna Geeroms (Impegem 1768 - Okegem 1843) with whom he had seven children.

Andreas Asselman (Okegem 1795 - 1875) was the oldest. He had five children with his first wife Van der Speeten Alexandrina (Okegem 1795 - 1831) and, to the best of my knowledge, none with the second. The third was Catharina Asselman (Okegem 1823 - 1892), the grandmother of my maternal grandfather Joannes Franciscus Neukermans (Okegem 1886 - 1961).
