June 23 1629

Joannes De Vidts, born in Pamel ca 1560 may have died there on June 23 1629 (the most recent publications do not give a date any more). He was a carpenter and, according to some sources, became a meisenier, but he is not listed as such. He married Catharina Lauwerijs. The marriage of the couple and their children are not listed in Gezinsreconstructie gemeente Pamel 1622 - 1799, but the couple itself is mentioned once or twice.

Their son Paschasius (Passchier) married Joanna De Beer in Pamel in 1622. He died in Pamel Keer/Kwinkeleer October 22 1656. They probably had seven children.

The further line of De Vidts has been described before in posts such as "March 22 1743 ".

Remark : I most probably gave some erroneous information in this post. I leave it as an illustration of how easy it is to make mistakes in those early periods. A Joannes De Vidts died (was buried) in Pamel on June 23 1629. He may very well have been the Joannes who was born ca 1560, but then again maybe he was not. The Joannes who died in 1629 may have been a baby of a couple of days old, the third child of Passchier and Joanna, and thus a grandchild of the first Joannes.
Given the "conciseness" of the information supllied, all I "really know" is that a Joannes died on that day, and that the reputed genealogist who published the Gezinsreconstructie tends to believe that it was the grandchild, rather than the grandfather.
