Paulus Franciscus Vlaeminck

Paulus Franciscus Vlaeminck was born in Massemen on August 1 1773. See the post for that date. He was a son of Jan Baptist (Melle 1741 - Massemen 1802) and Petronella Jacoba Leus of Massemen.

In 1805, Paulus Franciscus married Maria Anna Goossens (Denderhoutem 1774 - 1852). Maria Anna remarried after the death of Paulus Franciscus, but had no offspring with her second husband.

With her first husband, and according to the available data in the "gezinsreconstructies" for Denderhoutem, she had nine children :

-- Francisca, born in 1802. Francisca married and had four children. She died in 1834 ;
-- Rosalia, born in 1803. Rosalia married and had eight children. She died in 1858 ;
-- Augustinus (Denderhoutem 1805 - 1806) ;
-- Maria Theresia (Denderhoutem 1807 - 1876). She too married and had nine children ;
-- Donatus (Denderhoutem 1809- 1873). He married and had one child ;
-- Alexander (Denderhoutem 1812 - 1812). He lived for a couple of months ;

-- Coleta (Denderhoutem 1813 - 1891). She had eight children out of two marriages ; I descend from her second marriage ;

-- Bernardina (Denderhoutem 1817 - ?) and her twin brother Petrus Josephus (Denderhoutem 1817 - ?).

My maternal great-grandmother Blondina Muylaert (Denderhoutem 1849 - Pamel 1942), Coleta's daughter, surely had an extensive family, but then, up to the 19th and early 20th century, who hadn't ?

In this blog, I use the ortograph Vlaeminck ; in most of my sources Vlaminck is used.

A line of mothers

Joanna Maria Renneboog was born in Aaigem on July 16 1705. She is the oldest female ancestor in the all female line that I have found till now. I haven't researched her ascendents yet.

The all female line :

Joanna Maria Renneboog (Aaigem 16.07.1705 - Denderhoutem 06.10.1775) was the mother of

- Joanna Catharina De Dier (Denderhoutem 1738 - 1822) who was the mother of

- Maria Anna Goossens (Denderhoutem 1738 - 1822). She was the mother of

- Coleta Vlaeminck (Denderhoutem 1813 - 1891), the mother of

- Blondina Muylaert (Denderhoutem 1849 - Pamel 1935), the mother of

- Maria Antonia De Vidts (Pamel 1885 - Okegem 1949). Maria Antonia was the mother of

- Margaretha Felicitas Neukermans (Okegem 1914 - Gent 2000), my mother.

June 8 1812

Petrus Muylaert died in Nieuwerkerken where he had been born on March 15 1743. He married Isabella Mertens (Nieuwerkerken 1738 -1802).

Their son Jacobus Muylaert (Nieuwerkerken 1779 - 1858) married Barbara Schouppe (Aalst 1781 - 1857). They had seven children including Franciscus (Nieuwerkerken 1818 - Denderhoutem 1888) who married Coleta Vlaeminck (Denderhoutem 1813 - 1891).

As stated oftentimes before, Franciscus and Coleta were the parents of my great-grandmother Blondina Muylaert (Denderhoutem 1849 - Pamel 1942).

June 4 1849

On that day my great-grandmother Blondina Muylaert was born in Denderhoutem. She was a daughter of Franciscus Muylaert (Nieuwerkerken 1818 - Denderhoutem 1888) and Coleta Vlaemick (Denderhoutem 1813 - 1891). Coleta had five children with her first husband Josephus Baeyens (Denderhoutem 1805 - 1846) and three with Franciscus.

Blondina was the only one of my great-grandparents who, according to family lore, always refused to be photographed, but that cannot be entirely true : she must have had an identity card. Maybe, the photo on that card has been destroyed, maybe it has been kept in the family of my grandmother's sister Line. I shall never know.

In 1882 Blondina married Felix De Vidts (Pamel 1853 - 1940). They lived in the Piezelstraat in Pamel. Once or twice, as a very young child, I accompanied my grandmother when she visited her sister. Contacts were irregular because the relations between the sisters was not really optimal after the death of their parents. No need to say more, I think.

Felix and Blondina had five children (I listed them in another post). My grandmother Maria Antonia De Vidts (Pamel 1855 - Okegem 1949) was the oldest surviving one, but died relatively young. Her sister Adeline (Pamel 1890 - 1981) lived almost as long as their mother.

Maria Antonia De Vidts married Joannes Franciscus Neukermans (Okegem 1886 - 1961) and my mother was the second of their five children.

May 19 1802

Joannes Baptist Vlaeminck died in Massemen. He had been born in Melle on October 23 1741. He married Petronella Jacoba Leus.

Their son Paulus Franciscus (Massemen 1773 - Aalst 1819) became the first husband of Maria Anna Goossens (Denderhoutem 1774 - 1852) in 1805.

They were the parents of my great-great-grandmother Coleta Vlaeminck (Denderhoutem 1813 - 1891).

Throughout this blog I have taken some liberties with the spelling of the family names. The Vlaeminck family I report on is, more often that not, spelled Vlaminck. For the Ravijst family, the variations are "almost" endless ...

May 14 1858

Jacobus Muylaert passed away in Nieuwerkerken, where he had been born on March 24 1779. He married Barbara Schouppe (Aalst 1781 - Nieuwerkerken 1857).

Their son Franciscus Muylaert (Nieuwerkerken 1818 - Denderhoutem 1888) was the second husband of Coleta Vlaeminck (Denderhoutem 1813 - 1891), who had five children with her first husband, and three with Franciscus. The oldest of the three was Blondina Muylaert (Denderhoutem 1849 - Pamel 1942), my great-grandmother.

Blondina must have known her paternal grandparents Jacobus and Barbara. She might even have told her own grandchildren, including my mother, about them. But now, nothing remains ...

Some of it could probably be dug out of the archives : where did they live exactly, what did they do : but that holds true for every single branch of my ancestors. For the time being, I still am trying to add or to extend those branches. Most probably, I shall never have the time to "put some flesh on the bones."

May 13 1819

Paulus Franciscus Vlaeminck, who had been born in Massemen on August 1 1773, died in Aalst. In 1805, he married Maria Anna Goossens (Denderhoutem 1774 - 1852) with whom he had nine children. Maria Anna remarried after his death, but had no more children with her second hsuband.
