 AVÉ   "THE GEMERT CONNECTION"  

The family name goes way back  when Caspard Cantynsz. born in France in 1691 and baptised in Douai France left for Holland. He belonged to the  "Hugenoten" . Afterwards on the age of 30 he became  member of "The Waalse Kerk".

His occupation was "Master Blacksmith" , he married  july 7 of the year 1720 in Delfshaven with Johanna Blom 
He lived until october 5 of the year 1771 in Delfshaven Holland and reached the respectable age , certainly for these days, of 80 years.    

He had one  (1) son named Pieter who continued this part of the family-tree.    

Pieter Caparsz Avé was baptised  march 15 of the year 1724 and married Johanna Doorman. His occupation was "Blacksmith".
Out of this marriage some children were born, however the most important son  was Pieter Casparsz Avé .

But let's keep to the second marriage.
Born out of this marriage were Magdalena Caspars, baptised october 9 of the year 1784, Johannes Cornelis Casparsz baptised november 1 of the year 1787 in Tholen and Cornelis Casparsz baptised december 8 of the year 1792  in Tholen, married to Johanna Kollaardt  april 30 of the year 1820 in Delfshaven, she died april 15 of the year 1826 in Tholen.

Jan was a rather small man, he measured about 1.57 meter. September 6 of he year 1862 at the age of 27 he  went in miltary service on a  contract of 6 years.
August 4 of the year 1864 the contract was changed into a service contract for 6 years in the colonial troops.
This contract started on the day of embarkment.
October 6 of the year 1864 Casparus Johannes went on board of the  "Neptunus" destiny "Nederlands Indie".    

The  "Neptunus" was a ship of the type Schoener-Brik build in the year 1852 by assignment of the Amsterdam Ship-yard J. Muyskens and was named Backenhagen.
Later by bankrup of this ship-yard the ship was sold to the Harlingse Ship-yard Harmsen and Son and was renamed Neptunus.
The ship measured only 159 tons and had a lenght of 12- 15 meters.    

January 12 of the year 1865 Casparus Johannes set foot in Batavia, after a journey of 100 days.
You can hardly believe that a vessel like the "Neptunus" (so small) managed to finish this journey.
Casparus Johannes married in "Nederlands Indie" but it was impossible to find out the name of his wife.
This marriage gave birth to 2 sons, Gerardus Adrianus born June 13 of the year 1872 in Amboina, died May 22 of the year 1916 in Madioen.
Johannes born September 12 of the year 1874 in Amboina, died January 21 of the year 1936 in Malang

His 2 sons Gerardus Adrianus was 4 years old and Johannes was 2 years old. They were raised by the Assistent Resident of Amboina.    

Johannes Avé married  Josephine Charlotte Nix january 16 of the year 1896 on the age of 22, Josephine Charlotte Nix was born march 28 of the year 1869 in Soerabaya, so she was 27 years old.
Their first two children died as a result of the Spanisch flew before they reached the age of 1 year. Out of this marriage 7 children were  born.Charlotte Nix died march 28 of the year 1918.

So Johannes had eleven(11) children in total.
Many of his children and grandchildren did the same as the father of Johannes, leaving their home-country to sattle in other countries, like Brasil, Canada, United States, Polynesia, France, Spain and ofcourse Holland.
Who were those 11 children:              

The father of Bertha Nio The  named Teding van Berkhout died during  the first eruption of the vulcano "Kelud" in the year 1919.
     

  
For the Gemert Connection     Gustav Charl Johan was the most important. 

Gustav Charl Johan  married december 31 of the year 1922 with  Aafke Steiginga born november 10 of the year 1903 in Pontianak.She died October 25 of the year 1995 in Baarn.

For the Gemert Connection Anton Gustaaf (Ton) was the most important.  

April 28 of the year 1943  Anton Gustaaf married Nori Marietje Brouwer,      
Out of this marriage  3 children were born. 

However this marriage was the second marriage of Nori Marietje Brouwer.The first marriage was with Jan Toorop. Out of the first marriage 6 children were born under the name Toorop but lived in the same family Avé.

Due to the political situation in Indonesia our family had to move. Because of the history the first country to be qualified was ofcourse Holland.
So on month day of the year 1952 our family went on board of the Johan van Olden Barneveld,  this ship was later renamed to Aquille Lauro and was  shipwrecked later.
After a journey of 3 months they set foot on dutch soil, without knowing anything about "Holland".
For them it was a deception, coming from a warm culture inwhich they lived in quiet a luxery, to a cold and windy culture. Beside that the local     population seemed to have the idea, that those people who had just arrived were underdeveloped.
But never the less, they had to integrate as soon as possible, with of course one big advantage, they already spoke the same language.
But beeing  one of the first foreign groups of people who set foot in Holland, they managed quiet well with the integration.
What did they mis, for instance in Indonesia they were used to have a shower and to take a shower 2 times a day, while in Holland there was a leg of showers, and people were used to wash themselves only on saturday. Further  more they were used having servants for their cooking an for their laundry, here they had to do it themselves.These were just some examples of the things they met here, not to talk about the different food.    

The first known adress in Holland were our family lived was at SEINPOST in s'Gravenhage.
From there they went to Oostvoorne from where  they moved to Gemert (N.Br).
In Gemert the family started at the Schout Cox Straat and went via the Schout de Vischere straat to the Burg Rietmanstaat.         

Anton Gustaaf  (Guus) died as a result of an accident on a moped. He did not get married. Patricia Aurora was born on november 24 in Bandoeng, on day of the year she married Monald Aben this marriage did not last long and on day of the year she divorced.
On day of the year she married Jeffrey Bulham. Out of this marriage 1child was born. Later she divorced on day of the year ???? . She married again with Henk Slaats  on december ? of the year 2000.

 he name of the father was Manolo.
 Later she gave birth to a daughter named Valentina. Valentina was born on April 28 of the year 2008

Aquarius III (8 – 15 februari)

Ruimdenkend en behept met een weergaloos sociaal vermogen; dat is Waterman III. Hoewel ze koppig en zelfs opstandig kunnen zijn, zijn ze nooit vooringenomen. Bizarre ideeën en situaties vindt Waterman III doodgewoon. Deze mensen hechten waarde aan moraal en bevechten dat waar ze in geloven. Ze zijn niet bang, wel uiterst gevoelig. Deze kleurrijke, humoristische types weten wat geluk is, maar staan ook vaak onder hoge spanning. Dat kan voor emotionele instabiliteit en stress zorgen.

June 2 of the year 1978  Charles Wilhelm

Gemini III (11 – 18 juni)

Het leven van en met een Tweelingen III is nooit saai. Deze avonturiers zijn constant onderweg. Van plek naar plek, van idee naar idee. Vaak weten ze zelf niet wat hun volgende stap zal zijn. Tweelingen III zijn geboren verbinders. Ze hebben een scherp oog voor hun omgeving en besteden veel tijd aan het plezieren van anderen. Deze mensen hebben een positieve instelling en neigen soms naar het negeren van de minder positieve kanten van het leven.

The first adres they lived was at the Valeriusstraat 72 in Gemert from where they moved in 1993 to the Slenk 76 Gemert. In 2006 august 1 they moved to

Aqaurius-Pisces (16 – 22 februari)

Waterman-Vissen is een ontdekkingsreiziger. Deze mensen graven diep in zichzelf en de maatschappij en komen tot fascinerende inzichten. Cusp-persoonlijkheden hebben eigenschappen van twee tekens. In dit geval dynamisch en ruimdenkend (Waterman) tegenover emotioneel en persoonlijk (Vissen). Waterman-Vissen is uiterst gevoelig, maar hunkert desondanks naar indrukken van buitenaf. Ze onderzoeken de grenzen tussen objectief en subjectief, tussen universeel en persoonlijk. Evenwicht bewaren en grip houden op de realiteit zijn de uitdaging voor deze innemende persoonlijkheden.

Nick is living together with Birgit van de Laar, who is a daughter of Liz Stolze and H. van de Laar.

On April 1 of the year 2008 Birgit gave birth to a daughter Roos Nori, Roos was born on April 1 at 16:23 hours in the Elkerliek Hospital in Helmond
The weight was 2735 grams    Zodiac Sign Aries

Aries

Aries I (25 maart – 2 april)

Een energiek, open en oprecht karakter siert Ram I. Met jeugdig enthousiasme staan deze gevoelige mensen in het leven. Ze zijn positief ingesteld, humoristisch en gaan confrontaties bij voorkeur uit de weg. Hoewel ze charmant zijn en makkelijk in de omgang, kunnen ze ook koppig en inflexibel uit de hoek komen. Hun idealisme maakt zelden plaats voor een compromis. Ram I heeft behoefte aan vrijheid en wil onafhankelijk zijn, maar bevindt zich net zo graag in goed gezelschap.

Danielle was born on june 22 of the year 1984 on a friday. The exact hour she showed herself to the world was at :17:50 hours Zodiac Sign Gemini

Gemini-Cancer cusp (19 – 24 juni)

Tweelingen-Kreeft cusp-mensen belichamen bezieling. Met liefdevolle aandacht dragen ze zorg voor hun verantwoordelijkheden, zowel werk gerelateerd als in hun contact met hun naasten. Cusp-persoonlijkheden zijn geboren op de overgang tussen twee tekens en hebben eigenschappen van beide. In dit geval luchtig en energiek (Tweelingen) tegenover invoelend en emotioneel (Kreeft). Een combinatie die zorgt voor een charmant en innemend karakter. Liefde en romantiek zijn een must in hun leven. Deze verstandige gevoelsmensen ontbreekt het soms aan nuchterheid en daadkracht

Danielle lives in Handel.

On July 23 of the year 2007 Danielle gave birth to a daughter Nori Nicky Lynn.
Nori was born on July 23 at 22:45 hours in the Elkerliek Hospital in Helmond.
The weight was 3915 grams. Zodiac Sign Cancer

Cancer-Leo cusp (19 – 25 juli)

Bij Kreeft-Leeuw cusp-mensen is fluctuatie aan de orde van de dag. Hun leven is vaak een aaneenschakeling van uitersten. Zowel fysiek als mentaal zijn ze continu in beweging. Cusp-persoonlijkheden zijn geboren op de overgang tussen twee tekens en hebben eigenschappen van beide. In dit geval invoelend en emotioneel (Kreeft) tegenover vurig en assertief (Leeuw). Hoogte- en dieptepunten wisselen elkaar in rap tempo af en het is de uitdaging voor Kreeft-Leeuw daarin balans te vinden

On February 14 of the year 2013 Danielle gave birth to a daughter Dali. She was born the same day as her grandfather.Dalí Èva Joan.

Dali was born on February 14 at 13.53 hours in the Elkerliek Hospital in Helmond.
