Portuguese Burger De Mel - Fernando, with ancestors Perera, Fernando, Costa and De Mel. They are all from Colombo (11.5 centiMorgans).

74.15.2 Far-East Portuguese Settlements

Interestingly, MyHeritage®indicates minute autosomal DNA fractions linking with the regions of East Indonesia (0.9 %) and the Japan-Korea area (1.7 %). These connections must be due to the Portuguese presence in Malaca, Ternate, and Timor on the one hand, and Macau on the other.

The Portuguese dominion over Malacca, a prominent city on the Malay Peninsula, endured for 130 years (1511-1641) throughout its status as a territorial holding of the Portuguese East Indies. The territory in question was acquired via the subjugation of the Malacca Sultanate, which formed a crucial component of the Portuguese endeavors to establish dominance over regional commerce.

Prominent Malacca captaincy individuals were Rui de Brito Patalim, Manuel de Sousa Coutinho, António Pinto da Fonseca, and Luís Martins de Sousa Chichorro.

Portuguese Timor denotes a colonial territory under the dominion of Portugal, which lasted from 1702 until 1975. Throughout this historical era, Portugal and the Dutch East Indies jointly occupied the island of Timor. The first European presence in the area was established by the Portuguese in the year 1515. The establishment of a Dominican friar’s company on the island occurred in 1556, leading to the region’s declaration as a Portuguese colony in 1702. After the commencement of the Carnation Revolution, a decolonization process initiated in Lisbon, East Timor, was subjected to an invasion by Indonesia in 1975. In 1702, António Coelho Guerreiro received the official designation as Governor and Captain General of the islands of Timor and Solor, as well as other southern territories, by Caetano de Melo e Castro, the Viceroy of Goa. This appointment marked the end of the autonomous rule held by the Dominican missions.

The construction of Fort Kastela in Ternate may be attributed to the Portuguese in 1522. The structure in question is alternatively known by several names in other languages, such as São João Baptista de Ternate or Fortaleza de Ternate in Portuguese, Ciudad del Rosario in Spanish, and Gammalamma in Ternatean and in Dutch.

In April 1521, King Manuel I of Portugal commissioned a fleet from Lisbon led by Jorge de Brito. The navy received instructions to intercept the Spanish fleet commanded by Ferdinand Magellan on its voyage from the Americas to the Spice Islands. Upon reaching the shore, they were instructed to erect a stronghold on Ternate Island and assert Portuguese dominance. The Portuguese bestowed the fort’s original designation in honor of Saint John the Baptist, with the first stone being put on the day of his feast in 1522. The task was accomplished on February 15th, 1523.

The chosen site was situated on the southwestern shore of Ternate, close to the Sultan’s Court. However, it was around 7 kilometers from the main port at Talangame, devoid of any reefs. Kastella had three constricted passageways amongst the surrounding reefs, facilitating limited watercraft access to load cloves and impeding more giant warships from approaching close enough to engage in the bombardment. The fort was deemed inadequate by many subsequent observers, and it was not until the governorship of António Galvão in 1536 that substantial improvements were made to its fortifications.

The historical trajectory of Macau under its colonial rule by Portugal may be categorized into three major political epochs. The first event under consideration pertains to the creation of the Portuguese colony between 1557 and 1849. The Portuguese exercised control over the Portuguese population and some facets of the territory’s government without possessing genuine sovereignty. Following the era mentioned above, academics often recognize the colonial period spanning from 1849 to 1974. As Macau’s significance within the Portuguese Empire increased, the sovereignty of Portugal over Macau also got stronger, ultimately establishing it as an integral component of Portuguese territory. During this particular age, Chinese hegemony was mostly symbolic or titular. The third phase may be the transition era or post-colonial period, which occurred after the Carnation Revolution of 1974 and lasted until the handover in 1999. Francisco Martins assumed the role of the first Portuguese governor of Macau in the year 1583.

Specific de Silva members in the mentioned areas are described in Chapter 54.9.2.6 on page 1079, and Chapter 54.9.2.5 on page

1079.

74.16 Comparison with ancient Skeletons

Remembering the Byzantine migration path, described in Chapter 74.2 when interpreting the connection to old skeletons is essential.

Furthermore, the fact that VOC members typically married blended Portuguese-Indian or Portuguese-Sri Lankan brides (Portuguese Burghers) should also be kept in mind to understand the links with Irish or Scandinavian skeletons.

We have followed the same procedure as in Chapter 73.14, though we set the threshold to 1 centiMorgan. As a result, to have comparable weights, we divided the weights by two before listing them below. Despite having lived many generations in India and

to the ancestry of de Silva’s Iberian ancestors (Visigoths). In contrast, oth-

Byzantine to Iberia. (MyTrueAncestry®)

CHAPTER 74. DNA DE SILVA

Figure 74.34: A map of Asia shows the locations of found skeletons geneti-

cally linked to the de Silva sample. Some of these locations can be linked to the

genetic blending that occurred when they migrated from India to Iberia, while

others are linked to the ancient ancestry of the Karava and Salagama castes

and populations of Goa. (MyTrueAncestry®)

Figure 74.35: This is a graph showing the genetic distance between the de Silva

sample and modern populations. Of course, the closest connection is within the realm

of India, shown in Green. A European cluster is found in red. The blue and yellow

areas come from their Persian and Byzantine Empire history before they reached

Iberia. The Sephardic Jews connection comes from Iberia. The closeness of the pop-

ulation matches the duration of their residence in the different areas. (MyTrueAnces-

Sri Lanka, the European ancestry of de Silva must match ancient European skeletons. Some of these connections may exist through the Iberian ancestry, others, perhaps, through some branches originating in the VOC or British periods.

The GEDmatch® database contains over 100 DNA samples of ancient DNA, which had some autosomal DNA in common with ours. The ages shown below are those of the found skeletons. They do not necessarily match the era when ancient ancestors lived in each region.

Faucon’s Study of the Onomastics of Du Guesclin

The Spanish version is outlined in the book in Chapter 19.26.4, but also in France, several versions existed. Among them, de Glerquin, De Glerquino, De Guerclin, Du Clerquin, De Clequin, De Clequino, De Glerquin, De Glerquino, du Glearquin, ... are of particular importance. This unique research uncovers their resemblance to De Clergue, Desclergue, providing a fresh perspective on the study of this name.

In Chapter 19.11, a theory was presented that the patrilineal ancestors of Bertrand Du Guesclin may bave been Desclergues, or Clergues in Spain, who had transformed their name, under Moorish rule, into Hakim or Hakin, synonymous for Clergue.

Chapter 76

The Merovingian Ancestry of Guyotte de Hames

76.1 Introduction

In the first edition of this book, the author has ignored autosomal DNA links with persons claiming to descend from Merovingians and Charles Martel. The reason is that it is impossible to trace very distant ancestry solely based on autosomal DNA. Indeed, autosomal DNA is only meaningful as confirmation of other evidence. If one claims to descend, one way or another, from Merovingian Kings, one should find autosomal DNA traces.

On December 28, 2022, the author was contacted by Christophe Pattyn,1 who has done vast research on the origins of Guyotte de Hames, married to Raoul de Patin and described in Chapter 65.2.2 on page 1301. According to his research, documents prove that she descends from the Merovingians.

The Merovingian Dynasty, named after Merovech, a semi-legendary leader, emerged as a significant force in the history of early medieval Europe. Originating from the region of Tournai in present-day Belgium, the Merovingians established their dominance over the Frankish tribes during the decline of the Roman Empire. The dynasty’s most notable progenitor, Clovis I (c. 466–511), was instrumental in consolidating Frankish power. His conversion to Christianity around 496 CE, following the Battle of Tolbiac, marked a pivotal moment in the Christianization of the Frankish kingdom and solidified alliances with the Roman Catholic Church.

Clovis’ baptism by Saint Remigius in Reims further legitimized his rule and established a precedent for subsequent Merovingian kings.

Prominent members of the Merovingian Dynasty include Clovis’ sons, Theuderic I, Chlodomer, Childebert I, and Chlothar I, who divided the kingdom among themselves after Clovis’ death, leading to a period of internecine conflict and consolidation. Chlothar I eventually reunified the kingdom in 558, but upon his death in 561, the realm was once again divided among his sons. The latter years of the Merovingian rule saw a decline in royal power, with the authority often wielded by the "Mayors of the Palace," the chief officials of the royal household. This period of weakened royal control and factionalism ultimately paved the way for the rise of the Carolingian Dynasty, notably with Pepin the Short, who deposed the last Merovingian king, Childeric III, in 751, thereby ending the Merovingian era.

The Merovingians are also remembered for their contributions to early medieval culture and governance. They established foundational legal codes, such as the Salic Law, which influenced European legal traditions. Additionally, their support for the Christian Church facilitated the spread of monasticism and the establishment of religious institutions that played crucial roles in medieval society. Despite the eventual decline of their political power, the Merovingians left an indelible mark on the history of the Frankish kingdom and the broader trajectory of European history.

76.2 DNA and Genealogy

If the records match reality, we descend from Merovingians and Charles Martel, which may explain the DNA connections with other persons claiming the same. An example is shown in Figure 76.1.

The ancestry of our ancestor Guyotte de Hames is summarized in Figure 76.2 in which her entire known ancestry is shown, in Figure 76.3 in which her connection with the Kings of Kent is shown, in Figure 76.4 in which her relationship with Charlemagne and Charles Martel is highlighted, in Figure 76.5 in which her connection with Charles the Bold is given, in Figure 76.6 in which it is shown how she is related to William the Conqueror, and in Figure 76.7 that shows she is linked to the Merovingians. Charlemagne is shown in Figure 76.8.

1Christophe Pattyn descends from a Pattyn branch from Geluveld in Zonnebeke and researches his genealogy, digging evidence of his branch linked with that of de Patin of ours. So far, however, he has not been able to find solid evidence, also not with DNA research. It means that his ancestor Joannes Pattyn, who married Helena Forest, is likely, despite what certain genealogists claim and what is often copy-pasted on Geneanet®, not a son of Pierre Simon de Patin.

Gerard Verbrugghe & Maria Vandenabeele

77.1 Introduction

Jeanette Leona Verbrugghe is primarily described in Chapter 69 as the wife of Pierre Vangheluwe. With her husband and alone, long after his death, she had served as a beloved foster mother to the author when his parents were too busy with other matters.

She is referred to in Part X as the daughter-in-law of Zozyma Verhaeghe and Gerard Vangheluwe and appears in several photos in this book.

Her parents, Gerard Verbrugghe and Maria Van den Abeele, are described here. The author has always considered them foster grandparents and enjoyed visiting their place in Wielsbeke. They were both somewhat conservative and honest, friendly and correct.

They had a simple lifestyle, but one always felt warmly welcome at their home. Maria was orphaned at a young age, placing her family at the center of her activities. A souvenir in the context of her father’s death is shown in Figure 77.2. His French experience during WWII and later continued connection with France in flax harvesting influenced Gerard’s life.

The author wants to honor Gerard and Maria by inclusion in this book. They both knew the family Declercq-Devenyn in the 1920s and 1930s. Therefore, in many ways, they have filled the emptiness in the author’s ’Wielsbeke chapter’ of his early life caused by the premature death of his grandparents, Michel and Irma Declercq-Lesage.

77.2 The French Military Adventure during WWII

77.2.1 The Train Journey into the Unknown

Gerard Verbrugghe was born in Wielsbeke on September 11, 1910, as Gerardus Augustus Verbrugghe, son of Henri Constant Verbrugghe and Zulma Alida Maria Tijtgat; both parents had been born in Ooigem, shown in Figure 77.3. Gerard passed away on July 15, 2003. He left behind a detailed diary with his experiences during WWII in the Belgian army. His diary, written at war, is 14 cm by 8 cm by 8 mm. The text is written in pencil. Based on those writings and a preliminary transcription by his son, Raphael Verbrugghe, we have written an English interpretation of the facts while including information that one can find in history books to offer a more professional framework than barely one man’s experience. The text below is not a word-by-word translation and does not contain all the intimate and private details written down by Gerard, as we do not intend to replace his beautiful diary.

Gerard was mobilized on May 10, 1940. At that time, he was married with three children and had already left his military service, depicted in Figure 77.17, far behind. His wife was Maria Vandenabeele; she was born in Tielt on February 22, 1909 (family Vandenabeele-Deblauwe-Casteleyn) and died in 2006. Their three children were Henri, Henriette, and Gabrielle. Later, three more children would be born: Jeanette (1941), Raphael, and Annie.

Because Gerard, like many mobilized soldiers, was unprepared for combat, the Belgian army evacuated him and thousands of other soldiers to safe areas, first in Belgium and later in France, for further training. The idea was probably to avoid those soldiers falling victim to the Germans and ensure they could be deployed in combat later. As explained below, they would ultimately end up in the South of France and would be trapped there after Belgium’s surrender1 to the Germans.

Their situation would even worsen when also the French army surrendered. The Belgian Government abandoned2 The command twice. First, they fled to France, leaving King Leopold III behind with his combat regiments in Belgium. Then, when the Belgian army on French soil was trapped after the French surrender, they fled to London and left the remaining military behind in France.

The return to Belgium of the Belgian army located in France was finally made possible after negotiations with the Germans and King Leopold. Had he not done so, all soldiers would have turned into prisoners3.

Gerard Verbrugghe belonged to the 52nd Regiment (52ste linieregiment) II/52Li, under the Major Marlier command. This Regiment belonged to the first reinforcement and training center (’1ste Versterkings- en Opleidingscentrum 1 VOC’, or ’Etat Major des Troupes de Renfort et d’ Instruction TRI’). They were initially stationed at Leopoldkazerne in Ghent and would end up in Figure 77.1: Despite the author’s two magnificent parents, he was partially raised by

his foster parents„ Pierre Vangheluwe and Jeanette Verbrugghe, daughter of Gerard

Verbrugghe. The latter is seen in this image with the author around 1982.

1The surrender of the besieged Belgian army in West Flanders by King Leopold has been controversial. A discussion is beyond this book’s scope.

2Without attempting to feed any further controversy, both King Leopold and the Belgian Government have been involved in the events, and neither of them is probably to be blamed or applauded.

3His role as a negotiator was solid because he was still the King of Belgium since he had not abdicated his position but had surrendered his country and army.

CHAPTER 77. GERARD VERBRUGGHE & MARIA VANDENABEELE

Figure 77.2: Maria Vandenabeele lost her mother at an early age, which was a

profound and life-altering event for her. After this tragic loss, her father remarried,

bringing a new dynamic to her family life. However, the family’s stability was again

shaken when her father fell ill during the global Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-1919.

This devastating influenza outbreak, which coincided with the final year of World

War I, infected approximately one-third of the world’s population and resulted in an

estimated 50 million deaths worldwide. The Spanish flu was notorious for its high

mortality rate, particularly among young adults and those with underlying health

conditions. Maria’s father was among the many victims of this pandemic, leaving

her to face yet another significant loss and further altering the course of her life

during a tumultuous period in history.

Figure 77.3: Ooigem, adjacent to Wielsbeke, is where Gerard Verbrugghe’s parents

were from, while he was born in 1910.

Figure 77.4: The grotto of Lourdesa was very popular in Belgium.

It’s evident that the Belgian soldiers, when passing nearby, would all

have wanted to go and see it.

aIn 1858, 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous declared that she saw several

apparitions of ’a white lady’ in the cave of Massabielle between February 11

and July 16. Soon, ecclesiastical dignitaries considered eighteen shades to be

those of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Bernadette never said she had seen Mary

but spoke of a beautiful girl about her age, about the same height, in white,

with whom she spoke face to face as if they were friends. When asked for

her name, the apparition smiled. Only on March 25, at the 16th apparition,

the shade revealed her name (in the local dialect): ’I am the Immaculate

Conception.’ Bernadette did not understand this and, therefore, repeated the

words constantly until she could transfer them to Father Abbé Peyramale,

who understood the apparitions’ authenticity. How, otherwise, could such an

illiterate poor peasant girl know such a term known only among clergy and

theologians? The white young lady asked her to do penance for the sinners,

pray, and ask the priests for a chapel. She let Bernadette discover the source,

and she had to wash with its water. In 1864, a statue in honor of Our Lady of

Lourdes was erected at the apparition site in the cave. Consequently, a chapel

was built that soon became too small and would serve as the crypt for the first

Basilica of the Immaculate Conception. Over the years, two more basilicas

and several other buildings were added, now part of the Sanctuary of Our Lady

of Lourdes. After the Franco-German War of 1870, nationalism was prevalent

in France and induced the promotion of local heroes and other characters to

serve the political cause. A Holy apparition in the South of France has been

highly encouraged and was also very popular with the Belgians.

home.

and Ségoufielle between L’ Isle le Jourdain and Lévignac.

Montpelier, France. The Regiment consisted of an instruction Battalion commanded by De Raedt, a reinforcement Battalion commanded by Henri Langie, and a Services Company under the command of Moesman. Lieutenants and Commanders under De Raedt were Conard, De Kubber, De Moor, and Léon Janssens. Lieutenants and Commanders under Henri Langie were Bruneel, Dosche, Leclerq, Clement, and De Paepe.

For Gerard, the war began on May 10, 1940, after he had been mobilized and consequently arrived at Leopoldkazerne in Ghent. His journey, primarily by train, is shown in Figure 77.5. The first night, he slept at the School of Agriculture. The initial purpose was to gather all reservists at Leopoldkazerne and give them a quick rehearsal on using their weapons. However, the speed at which the Germans attacked Belgium forced them to go to safer places in Belgium and later in France. On May 10, the first 2 German prisoners of war, pilots, arrived at Leopoldskazerne. One can imagine that this must have been a spectacle for the Belgian soldiers who were there, too.

The next day, his battalion left for Zaffelare. On Saturday, May 11, at 2 a.m., Gerard and his comrades were ready to go wherever they could serve. Still, they had to wait until May 14, 8 p.m., to leave as the result of an order given on May 13 by Major General Fremont to try to move the Belgian soldiers to France and protect them from German attacks.

Relocating to France was an endeavor that was not adequately prepared. Indeed, as Belgium had decided to remain neutral, it could not have arranged for a German offensive. At that time, the soldiers probably did not realize what a precarious situation they were in. Indeed, when the train entered Ghent on May 15 and paused to ride to Aalter that evening, Gerard used the time to visit his sister in Ghent. Unfortunately, she was not at home when he rang her doorbell. Gerard also had an auntie, Marie Romanie Verbrugghe, in Ghent, as we found out, who was married to a certain Mr Samyn; she was born in Ooigem on April 16, 1858, and she would die in Ghent on October 26, 1942.

After their departure, the train left for Aalter, Torhout, and finally, via Dixmude, they arrived in Bruges. Their destination was France, so they had to move on. On May 16, they arrived at Veurne early in the morning. From there, they went to De Panne–Adinkerke, near the border with France. They then headed for France. They crossed the Belgian-French border at 10 a.m.

Then they went from Rosendaël to Dunkerque, where they had to wait 6 hours. At 4 p.m., they left South. Gerard remembered passing the following places before he fell asleep: Cassel, Hazebrouck, Steenbecque, Tienen, Lillers, Bethune, Noeux-Les-Mines, Bully-Les-Mines, Grenay, Lens, Bailleul(-Sir-Berthoult), Athies, Arras.

On May 17, they continued their long journey to Orival. Everywhere they passed, villagers were applauding, and they received cider. On May 18, they arrived at Angers at 8 a.m. The whole day, they traveled along the Loire River. After a 2-hour break, they continued their journey to Saumur via La Ménitré. After Saumur, they continued to Tours via La Chapelle-sur-Loire, Saint-Patrice, Langeais, Cinq-Mars-la-Pile, and Savonnieres Saint-Genouph. At Tours, they have received food for three days. Therefore, they knew they would have to move on further. In the evening, they left Tours.

the day after, to Brive-la-Gaillarde.

Figure 77.15: The journey back home, on August 10-

11, 1940. Courtesy of Google Maps®.

On Sunday, May 19, at 2 a.m., they passed the city of Angouleme. From Angouleme, they went to Libourne. They went to Bordeaux via Vayres, Saint-Loubès, and Lormont from Libourne. They have seen the sea harbor and passed five tunnels. At Bordeaux Benauge, they have departed for Dax. At around 8 p.m., they have reached Tarbes, near Lourdes, shown in Figure 77.4. They saw huge mountains, driving slowly and passing the closest point to Lourdes at 9 p.m. It’s a shame they could not stop here. They continued their journey close to the mountains until it got too dark to see anything.

On May 20, they woke up at 7 a.m. It was daylight, and the weather was warm. They reached a large railway station in the morning. Three trains with troops were next to each other. They continued their journey to Bessan via Coran, Nissan(-lez-Enserune), Colombiers, and Béziers.

Consequently, they continued to Florensac and Paulhan until they finally reached Clermont-l’ Hérault. Upon their arrival at Clermont-l’ Hérault, at around 8 p.m., they wandered on a square for about an hour and were then moved to a giant garage where they could stay. The place was fit, as half of them received a little bed to sleep.

On May 21, after a good night’s sleep, they spent the whole day moving material from the train station. On May 22, Gerard was awakened by thunder. There was a thunderstorm with short rain showers. At 8 a.m., Gerard visited the doctor to show him his leg, fearing he was developing an ulcer. Starting at 6:30 p.m., it has rained again with thunder and lightning.

On May 23, the weather was beautiful. Nothing much happened that day. On May 24, nothing unusual happened. Gerard could not wear his shoes for the second day in a row because of his ulcer. On May 25, Gerard had nothing to do because of his abscess.

Nothing happened that day. On May 26, a Sunday, they went to church. Nothing extraordinary happened except that 12 recruits have joined them. On May 27, nothing unusual happened except Gerard’s leg, which appeared to be finally healing. The next day, dramatic changes occurred.

On May 28, the Belgian army, still on Belgian soil, had been repelled towards the West, similar to WWI. This time, the difference was that they had been surrounded by the Germans, whose speed had surprised the French army and let them reach the French coast while besieging the trapped Belgian forces. On May 28, King Leopold decided that other than massive suicide, a surrender to the German troops was the only remaining reasonable option. At that time, he had been abandoned by his Government4 he had not received a fast enough response and forces from the French5. Furthermore, the British evacuation at Dunkirk had already Figure 77.16:

Gerard Verbrugghe has always loved Rina Ketty’s song ’J’ at-

tendrai,’ which reminded him of his adventure in France. Rina Ketty (Sarzana, Italy,

1911—Cannes, France, 1996) was merely six months older than Gerard, so her songs

must have been revealing to him.

4Another option could have been abdication and returning his power to Belgian politics on foreign soil, but he probably feared that his army, in that case, would have been imprisoned as enemies and, in danger. Furthermore, as Belgium had been neutral before the war, King Leopold decided Belgium should only defend its territory and not get involved in a global war involving big countries such as France, Germany, and Great Britain. The events are still controversial.

5The French had a very long line of command, too slow to act decisively. Also, they were confused by the Germans invading two fronts.

CHAPTER 77. GERARD VERBRUGGHE & MARIA VANDENABEELE

started on May 26, two days before the Belgian surrender. In addition, the Dutch had already surrendered on May 15, more than two weeks earlier than the Belgians.

Gerard wrote that on May 28, they found out that Belgium had capitulated and that this news, how bad it was, heated his desire to return home to his wife and children. At that moment, he also believed that his brothers Pierre and Oscar, both soldiers, had been trapped somewhere in France.

Indeed, the soldiers in France had heard Belgian Prime Minister Hubert Pierlot on the radio. For some reason, his speech had pissed off every soldier because they had the impression that they had not been told the truth. The next day, May 29, a lack of food and the proposals made by Pierlot maintained a sense of frustration and unhappiness with the soldiers. There was a conflict between Prime Minister Pierlot and King Leopold, which originated on May 15 when the Dutch surrendered. Pierlot wanted the Belgian army to move South and join the French army to avoid disconnection from the Allied troops. However, the King wished to remain with his troops on Belgian soil as his father had done during WWI and wanted to move northwest towards the coast.

Both men had good reasons. In an allied constellation, Pierlot was right. However, King Leopold realized that an army without a country and on foreign soil was virtually powerless and would result in the destruction of the country by the Germans, so he was right, too. Note that these events occurred after the demolition of Poland by the German army in August 1939. During his radio speech on May 28, Pierlot condemned King Leopold for his surrender, and it was this message that frustrated the Belgian soldiers in France. Indeed, King Leopold was their commander-in-chief, who had stayed with the army and on Belgian soil. Furthermore, the King had promised that the soldiers’ destiny was equal to his fate, meaning he would never abandon them. He had kept his promise.

On May 30, around 30 Belgian soldiers who had been involved in battles with the Germans North of Antwerp arrived South of France and told horrible stories of what they had gone through during the campaign.

Furthermore, on that day, all soldiers were disarmed and turned in their guns, which had been received earlier in Zaffelare. Gerard was distraught because he knew that his two brothers had also been stationed North of Antwerp to fight the Germans. He feared that they might be dead. Gerard was anxious when he heard of the fierce battles at Kortrijk, not far from his village, Wielsbeke.

Gerard became so desperate that he decided to pray for the Holy Mary of Halle6 The next day, more soldiers arrived with terrible stories of the horror in Belgium. It drove him mad!

That Sunday, Gerard would drink wine until he was drunk in an attempt to forget all the horror7.

On June 2, without King Leopold, the Belgian Government investigated to what extent the army stationed in France could join the French army and fight against the Germans. Meanwhile, from June 3 onwards, the Belgian soldiers turned subject to French bullying and insults and were even called Germans.

The French army later surrendered on June 22. Only then would the Belgian soldiers slowly find ways to return to their homeland.

In the meantime, the Belgians had to find methods to survive and idle. On June 9, a Sunday, the troops left by train in the direction of Perpignan. They passed via Paulhon, Béziers, Narbonne, Moux, and Carcassonne (where there was a Velodrome) and would continue to Toulouse and Souillac. They arrived at 6:30 a.m. They reached Brive-la-Gaillarde and went further to Limoges. Gerard was very impressed by the numerous mountains and tunnels he could see. Then, they continued the journey to Argenton-Sur-Creuse to arrive at Chateauroux and continued to Vierzon. Gerard probably did not know where he was as he believed he was close to Paris then. Along the road, they have seen many refugees. At that moment, the Belgians heard that Italy was also at war. Nevertheless, it was unclear to the Belgians whether Italy was fighting with or against the Germans. Gerard also heard that a ship with 1200

Flemish refugees had sunk.

On June 11, the troops traveled by train to Bièvres, near Paris. They followed the night trajectory from Vierzon to Saint-Servais (near Dreux), probably via either Orleans, Chartres, or both. They arrived in or near Saint-Servais very early in the morning, and it took until around 8 a.m. to reach Bièvres, of which Gerard was very confident that it must have been only 20 km from the city of Paris. From Saint-Servais to Bièvres, they saw many hostile airplanes but were somewhat covered by the foggy weather.

They also heard shootings, which made it clear that they were very close to the front line. To reach Bièvres, the train traveled to Juvisy-Sur-Orge and was then detoured because the railway bridges had been bombed that morning during a bombardment with at least 300 German bombs.

77.2.2 The journey on foot and the near-death experiences

In Bièvres, in Figure 77.6, the troops stayed in the woods near the castle in the train station’s vicinity (Chateau des Mathurins).

While Gerard and his comrades rested on the forest soil, underneath improvised tents, that evening, knowing that they were so close to Paris, he wondered what would happen next. His journey, primarily on foot or on a bicycle, is shown in Figure 77.7.

Meanwhile, the 64th battalion had also arrived there, and Gerard desperately looked around to see if he could recognize any friends or acquaintances. What happened at Bièvres was that the Belgian II/52Li was ’donated’ to the French army to help with Paris’s defense. Meanwhile, Commander Langie tried to figure out how his troops could support the French and what tasks they could carry out. Nevertheless, for two days, there was no decision made.

On June 11, Gerard and his comrades were on guard in the park areas and discovered a nearby strawberry field of 2 hectares. They enjoyed the tasty strawberries. Gerard also found out that he was located not far from the airport of Orly, bombed by the Germans.

On June 12, Gerard became agitated because he realized that the Germans were closing in; still, the Belgian military received no instructions on what to undertake. Meanwhile, horrible scenes were visible of people fleeing with all their portable belongings.

Gerard also realized at that moment that he was fortunate because his life had not yet been in danger. The day was rainy, and Gerard noticed that the French troops were pulling back to regroup before relaunching charges on the German forces. Some French troops mentioned to the Belgians that the Germans had said in a radio conversation that they knew about the starving disarmed Belgian soldiers in the forest. The Belgian forces feared that they would be used as hostages by the French or that they would be used somehow as defensive meatballs when the German troops approached.

On June 13, the German army reached Paris’s northern suburbs, and therefore Commander Langie decided to move south. Their goal was to pass the Loire River. They would retreat by marching to Orleans via Arpajon, Etampes, and Angerville. On their way south, the troops were joined by thousands of refugees who went south too. In Arpajon, the local French government delivered food to the soldiers, but the army slaughtered several cows in the village as the provisions were insufficient. Gerard recalls that the departure from Bièvres began at 10 pm, and they walked around 25 km that night.

6After the war, when he realized that his close relatives and family had survived the war, Gerard would pilgrimage to the Holy Mary of Halle numerous times. It was his expression of gratitude.

7So he told in his diary. We should not forget how tasty French wine is, though.

77.2. THE FRENCH MILITARY ADVENTURE DURING WWII

1689

On June 14, the troops continued at 13:30 and were split into two groups. One group marched along the N20 road (so they must have passed Champlain, Langjumeau, and Monthéry), the other along a parallel street. Communication between the two groups took place by Commander Langie on his bicycle. Gerard was again very impressed by the thousands of devastated families, mainly women and little children, who fled to the south. People who were exhausted rested in the ditches and on the street. At 2 am, they reached Arpajon and left Arpajon at 4 am to Etampes, in Figure 77.8, where they arrived at 10 pm. At Etampes, they slept in a church. The village had been bombed the morning before. Gerard heard that around 100 people were killed and about 300 injured.

On the 15th, the Belgian army heard that the Germans moved very fast towards the Loire River. Therefore, they decided to use any possible transportation means to move the troops as soon as possible across the Loire. The meeting point was Olivet, 10 km south of Orleans. It appears that only one-third would be able to cross the Loire. The others were stuck in front of the last remaining bridge over the Loire when the French decided to blow it up. This means that two-thirds of the Belgians were held and imprisoned by the Germans. In his diary, Gerard writes that he woke up on the 15th at 3 am; everyone was in a panic. Gerard and seven other Flemish soldiers found bicycles in Etampes and went south, as commanded. The plan was to sleep in a forest that evening.

The following day, on June 16, they continued their journey towards Orleans. Because the Germans shelled Orleans the night before, Gerard and his comrades had to ride their bicycles through the rubble on fire, and he remembers that it was a sweltering experience. Many homes were ablaze. From Orleans, they were sent to Vernou-en-Sologne. Thirty kilometers along that road, in a small village, Saint-Viâtre, in Figure 77.9 (between Orleans and Vierzon), the enemy bombed them. A few minutes before that, one of the soldiers noticed he had a flat tire. Therefore, the group decided to get into the forest and repair the tire before moving on. It was at that time that the shells hit. Bombs fell as close as 100 m from their location. Many people on and near the road were killed. German machine guns also showered the street with rounds. After the event, the street was packed with soldiers and civilians alike, retreating south. It was then that Gerard met a friend, a certain Cyrille Deboschere. They decided to stay together (and probably also chose not to go to Vernou-en-Sologne, which was west, but go south straight towards Vierzon along which road La Ferté-Imbault is located). At 5 km from Vierzon, they decided to stay at a small farm in a barn at La Ferté-Imbault, in Figure

77.10.

On June 17, they continued to Chateauroux. Along the way, they grabbed wine, cider, and liquor from the bombed homes and found some happiness in being drunk. They reached the airport in Chateauroux, in Figure 77.11, and stayed there. There was a large factory nearby, and the airport had only around seven little planes parked. From there, they moved to army barracks that appeared empty, apart from 40 French soldiers who guarded the facilities. They did not sleep there but continued for 2 km and slept at a farm. The farmers were very friendly and thought that the war was over. They went back to their companies at ten o’clock and moved on to Limoges, 190 km away. Here and there, they could take a short nap and move on. They spent the night at a farm.

On June 18, they were in the hill country and had to walk most of the time because it was impossible to ride their bikes. After reaching Limoges, they continued the journey to Toulouse. This day was also the first time in two days that they heard explosions again. In the evening, they slept at a farm. On June 19, they continued further but became increasingly desperate as more French soldiers followed, which meant that the frontline was moving south. At the same time, however, there were fewer and fewer refugees noticeable along the road. The soldiers had no food and nothing to drink and relied on bread offered by farmers here and there or water they could tap in the villages they passed. A big thunderstorm forced them to sleep early at a farm along the road in the afternoon.

On June 20, they proceeded to Brive-la-Gaillarde. They found a camp with many Belgian Walloon civilians who had worked for the French army. Desperately, they realized that although all were starving, they still had to travel 300 km further towards their final destination. Gerard wrote that he longed to go home to his wife and children and that he, therefore, secretly hoped the French army would soon surrender and end the war. The next day was a miserable rainy day. Everyone was desperately hoping for the war to end.

On June 22, the weather was clear, and they knew they still had 173 km to go to their destination. Sometimes they could ride the bicycle; other times, they had to walk because the road was inadequate or too steep.

On June 23, they heard from the locals that a peace treaty was signed with the Germans. The end of the war rejoiced them. At noon they reached the barracks of Cahors, in Figure 77.12, where they received a good meal. After their lunch, they continued in the direction of Toulouse. They hoped to catch a train at Toulouse to Clermont (sic); otherwise, they would have to continue their bicycle ride. As it was Sunday, they had gone to the mass at a local church. At night they stayed at a farm.

On June 24, it rained cats and dogs, and superiors diverted them to a small village where they had to join the 57th line in the 6th company. Gerard was happy with the situation because it meant they were back in the military structure and could receive tasty meals from now on.

On June 25, they officially heard that the peace treaty was signed, so the war was now formally over. Gerard decided to sell his bicycle for 30 French francs. He preferred the money rather than to turn in his bike and get nothing. Because the war had ended, he longed to go home again. On this day, he also lost his necklace with two religious medals.

On June 26, Gerard woke up after having dreamt about his wife for the first time since the beginning of the war. The weather improved, and the following days, until later that summer, Gerard and his comrades spent their days desperately hoping for news to go home. In contrast, they also went fishing in the local rivers (with a net) and often slept in the sun on haystacks. Having nothing to do but waiting for news about what would happen next was very frustrating. They were located at Ségouffiéle, close to Toulouse. On July 5, the soldiers heard that the British had destroyed the French fleet. Many nights, Gerard dreamed of his home in Wielsbeke.

Further in his diary, Gerard describes daily life, how they bought some meat, how they did not have enough money to buy proper food, how he bought a new bicycle for 20 French francs. The soldiers also found out that they had received permission to work on a farm, if possible, to earn some extra money. On July 11, Gerard noticed a French soldier arriving home and was reunited with his young wife and child. It made him long, even more, to go back again. Gerard was also distraught the following days as he realized that he did not know if his wife and children were still alive or not and if they were safely at home in Wielsbeke. Exaltation made way for uneasiness. On July 15, they were told they could rejoin their Regiment in Clermont-l’Hérault. On July 16, Gerard fabricated a ring that he decided to keep as a souvenir of this year’s bad experience. On July 17, they received a salary. Many soldiers that day and the next day decided to walk back home or go on their bikes. Gerard decided to stay as he was not confident that such a decision was excellent and safe. He also mentioned that the following days they went fishing again and often caught snakes in their nets. Gerard also found out that evening that most families in Belgium thought that the soldiers were not alive anymore, so it worried him that he could not inform his own family. On July 21, a commemoration was held for the killed Belgian soldiers as this was Belgium’s national day. On July 22, Gerard heard that he had to join his Regiment at Clermont-Ferrand.

He regretted not having his bicycle anymore; otherwise, he could have tried to go home immediately instead. The next day he The Desclergues of la Villa Ducal de Montblanc, 2nd ed., Omn., VOL. VIII

CHAPTER 77. GERARD VERBRUGGHE & MARIA VANDENABEELE

Figure 77.17: Left, we see Maria in 1927 and Gerard in 1930. When WWII began in 1940,

Gerard was in the military reserve unit, having left his military service far behind. He was

expected to be trained again in unoccupied Belgium or France to combat the Germans later.

Because Belgium surrendered, such plans ended, and he returned home as a civilian. Next, on

January 5, 1985, a commemoration of Gerard Verbrugghe and Maria Van Den Abeele’s 50-year

marriage is shown. Then, we see Maria signing the golden book of Wielsbeke on her 50th wedding

jubilee. The author stands behind her. The other photo was taken at the church of Wielsbeke.

Figure 77.18: Gerard and Maria are with their children and enjoying their garden. Right, we find them in their garden in Wielsbeke, already of considerable age but still in excellent health, and enjoying the wedding of their granddaughter Nancy.

received news that he had to stay and not go to Clermont-Ferrand. On July 31, Gerard and his comrades heard, from Belgians who had arrived from the north, that the Belgians back home believed that the soldiers wanted to stay in the south of France rather than go home. The thought despaired them. On that day, finally, many troops departed by train in the direction of Belgium. On August 2, the remaining soldiers began a mutiny, desperate to go back home. On August 3, there was a manifestation at ’L’ Isle le Jourdain,’ but the local gendarmes were very friendly towards the Belgians. Isle le Jourdain is shown in Figures 77.13.

On August 6, two of Gerard’s friends left on their bicycles to Belgium. Gerard was left behind as he had no bike. On August 7, he finally had a bike and left Ségoufielle for Carcassone, then Montauban, then Cahors and Gourdon, in Figure 77.14, where they arrived at 7 pm. Exhausted by the 215 km ride, they slept outdoors in the grass. The next day, totally stiff after a night on the ground, they left for Brive-la-Gaillarde. Along the road, they were picked up by a car that carried them 23 km. At 8:30 am, they reached Brive-la-Gaillarde and continued to Limoges, where they arrived at 6 pm and slept in a barn.

77.2.3 The Border Crossing between Vichy-France and German-France and the Return Home.

The remainder of the journey, primarily by train, is shown in Figure 77.15.

On August 10, they passed the border between Vichy-France and German-France and went to Vierzon’s train station. They departed in the afternoon: Salbris, Orleans, and Étapes (near Paris) and continued to Mons in Belgium and then Brussels, where they arrived on August 11 at 2 pm. Near the Brussels train station, they could shower and have a meal. From Brussels, they went by tram and car back home. When Gerard arrived home at 11 pm, his dog was the first to recognize his arrival. His wife and children were safe. Two of Gerard’s brothers were taken prisoners of war and were in Germany.

Like many of his contemporaries, Gerard Verbrugghe has always loved the song ’J’ attendrai’ by Rina Ketty, shown in Figure 77.16.

Most probably, it was played often where the troops had been stationed in France.

Jeanette Verbrugghe, the author’s foster mother, was conceived after his return, i.e., in March 1941. The journey through France and Rina Ketty’s words8 were sweet memories of Gerard and Maria, a couple in love until they reached almost 100. We cite the lyrics of this memorable song to show how revealing the words must have been to the couple, given the experiences they went through in 1940: J’ attendrai - Le jour et la nuit - J’ attendrai, toujours - Ton retour - J’ attendrai - Car l’ oiseau qui s’ enfuit vient chercher l’ oubli - Dans son nid - Le temps passe et court - En battant tristement - Dans mon cœur plus lourd - Et pourtant, j’ attendrai - Ton retour.

Les fleurs palissent - Le feu s’ éteint - L’ ombre se glisse - Dans le jardin - L’ horloge tisse - Des sons très longs - Je crois entendre ton pas - Le vent m’

apporte - Des bruits lointains - Guettant ma porte - J’ écoute en vain - Hélas, plus rien - Plus rien ne vient.

J’ attendrai - Le jour et la nuit - J’ attendrai, toujours - Ton retour - J’ attendrai - Car l’ oiseau qui s’ enfuit vient chercher l’ oubli - Dans son nid - Le temps passe et court - En battant tristement - Dans mon cœur plus lourd - Et pourtant, j’ attendrai - Ton retour.

Indeed, Maria, who had stayed behind in Wielsbeke in 1940 with three children, has also had bad experiences. When the Germans approached the Leie River, the Battle of the Leie began on May 24, and the civilians fled. German Stukas attacked them along the road, and several people, mainly those who could not jump soon enough into the ditch, were killed. Maria lost track of one child but then found her back. After the battle on May 28, the civilians returned home, and, almost like a miracle, Maria’s home remained unharmed.

Souvenirs of Gerard Verbrugghe and Maria Van Den Abeele’s life are shown in Figures 77.17 and 77.18.

Genealogy Reports

78.1 Introduction

In the study of genealogy, every ancestor and their siblings are included, as each individual can offer valuable insights into our history. The exploration of genealogical context, the search for additional evidence, and the tracing of lineage further back in time are crucial to understanding our heritage. However, it is acknowledged that some ancestral branches may appear less captivating than others. This book focuses on the segments of our ancestry that we found particularly intriguing.

A comprehensive database was constructed using specialized genealogy software, and its contents have been made available online.

The data presented in this section is derived from this database. While we have endeavored to ensure the accuracy of the information, it still needs to be completed. For example, statements such as ’they had one son and one daughter’ indicate that only one son and one daughter have been documented in our database, though there may have been more offspring.

The chapters in this book provide a more thorough exploration of our genealogy than typical reports. Three separate overviews are included to facilitate a holistic understanding, allowing readers to study them independently of the preceding narrative.

In recognition of the equal genetic contribution of all our ancestors and to honor their individuality, we have refrained from specifying the branches to which they belong. Consequently, this list serves not as a replacement for the detailed chapters but as a unified presentation of our family, underscoring the interconnectedness of all members.

In a few instances, our ancestry tree contains an entry stating ’several generations,’ which means there is enough historical proof to make that statement without precise knowledge of how many generations this span covers. In those cases, the genealogy reports, semi-automatically generated by our genealogy software, take ’several generations’ as one person and, therefore, make the wrong estimation of how distantly older ancestors along that line are separated from us. This results in misinterpretations that we still need to remove from the lists below when, in the future, more specific information is found.
