May 30 1727

Josina (= Judoca) De Doncker was born in Pamel, a daughter to Judocus De Doncker who died there in 1732 and to Anna Van der Meeren, born ca 1687 and who died in Pamel in 1782. Anna remarried after the death of Judocus and lived a very long life - she died at the age of approximately 95, more than double the life expectancy at that time. She had six children with Judocus and two with her second husband.

Josina had a natural son, Judocus De Doncker (Pamel 1755 - 1835). Josina married in 1768, but her husband, of which she was the second spouse and with whom she had another child, was not the father of Judocus. Josina died in Pamel on September 13 1799.

Judocus was the second husband of Anna Maria De Ridder (St Kwintens Lennik 1752 - Pamel 1833). Anna Maria had six children with her first husband and three with Judocus.

Their daughter Anna Catharina De Doncker (Pamel 1791 - 1865) married Adrianus Neukermans (Okegem 1788 - 1860).

As stated before, through their son Amandus (Okegem 1824 - 1857) they were the paternal grandparents of my maternal great-grandfather Hermilianus Neukermans (Okegem 1855 - 1932).
