Everardus Gerardus
(Everardo Gerardo) Joghems
On September 29, 1875 mary in Amsterdam Johannes Antonius Fredericus Joghems, born Amsterdam September 24, 1855 and Hendrika Margaretha Steenhuys, born Assen January 12, 1855. On March 21, 1876 their first child, a son, Everardus Gerardus is born at the address Lauriersgracht 571. Certain day the family moves to Dordrecht, where on Februari 25, 1880 a daughter Ida is born. Back in Amsterdam their last child Geertruida is born Februari 15, 1882. On May 14, 1883 Johannes dies, 27 years old, leaving Hendrica with three little children.
Hendrica remarries with Jan Jansen van Galen,
born Roosendaal April 5, 1858 on August 17 1885 in Amsterdam. Jan moves in
with Hendrica at Eerste Lauriersdwarsstraat 19.
It is probably not easy to have a reasonable live so they decide to emigrate
to Argentina, which like the USA, was a popular country to go to in these days.
They
travel to the New World with the SS Leerdam (Holland Amerika Lijn) The
ship arraives in Buenos Aires on October 8, 1889.
How they get in Uruguay we do not know, but we meet
them again there in Fray Bentos where Jan Jansen van Galen is the owner
of a beer brewery.
Around 1923 this portret has been made.
