His birth certificate confirms this. When Franciscus married Amelia, he adopted both Petrus and Carolus. Carolus is thought to be his child, he was born two months before they got married in 30 Jan 1890. Now Oma de Broeck had of course a very good explanation of how things happened and who the father was of Petrus. --Quote-- "Het was een sterke man van de kermis" --Unquote-- translated "It was the strong man from the circus". Now we all know that the strong man in the circus always has a "Dumb-bell" The dutch translation for that is "Halter" (remember this for later in the story).<br /><br />When Carl and Bonnie were here and when Divine and me were in the States, we started to notice that there were a lot of similarities between all of us. Even though we came together by Amelia de Broeck. So we started to wonder if Franciscus might be the father of Petrus, but being in the 1880's they thought different about un-wed mothers. They kept it silent. We decided to have a Paternal 46 Y-Chromosome DNA test done. Carl, Martin and myself took part in it. <br /><br />For me it was easy. even though i have the name (from my mother) my actual paternal line goes thru the Denee line (please don't tell anybody). So i ended up of matching (within 7 generations) with somebody in England named Eric Silva Jones or his forefather, Griffith Jones died 1754. It's highly likely that Eric Silva Jones and me have the same great......greatgrandfather. For Carl matched with a certain John Presson within 12generations. It's highly unlikely that they are related. Now it was Martin's turn. he matched with someone within 5 generations. This is a match!! That would put it around 1880 where the two families join. The person name is Patsy L Halter (her maiden name)living in the USA. She had her brother do the DNA test. Now the Halters come from Belgium/France in the neighbourhood of Oma de Broeck and they immigrated to the USA around 1880-1890. Thru DNA we now know who Oma de broeck liked, at least his last name. So a lot of persons who are named "van Britsom" today, should actually be named "Halter". So oma de Broeck did actually name the father, it just took 130 years and DNA to figure it out. This all took place around 1883-1887 in IJzendijke, Zeeland, The Netherlands and Douai, Nord, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France.

je viens de découvrir avec émotion votre b...bonjour<br />je viens de découvrir avec émotion votre blog très intéressant<br />je suis moi même descendant des Halter, probablement de Abraham le vieux 1600 et tous les ancêtres de ma mère sont entre Schirrhein et schirrhoffen depuis cette époque. Je ne suis pas un spécialiste de la généalogie, mais ayant vécu ma petite enfance à Schirrhoffen, j'essaie de défricher un peu un arbre généalogique très compliqué. Dans la lignée de mon grand père on retrouve un Louis Halter né vers 1777 mais Magdaléna Royer est bien une arrière cousine de ma grand mère<br />je suis donc très heureux de découvrir de lointains cousins et cousines des Etats Unis en espérant que nous auront l'occasion de nous rencontrer un jour<br />avec toute mon amitié<br />Jean Claude VADOT<br />jcvadot@yahoo.frjcVadothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074446738898496913noreply@blogger.com
