I found the death record for Johanna Hopmans, mother of the US Sweere-patriarchs, Theodorus and Hendrickus.

I began to explore the Van den Heuvel line and made a large amount of additions there. This Van den Heuvel line is of particular interest to me because both Theodorus and Hendrickus married sisters from that same Van den Heuvel family, and their own sister, Johanna Huberta Sweere, married Martinus Van den Heuvel, a brother of those two sisters.

The Van de Heuvel line is somewhat aggravating to explore in the Civil Archives because there are literally thousands of records for this prolific ‘of the Heuvel’ name. This means I have to narrow my search parameters considerably in order to capture the records I’m interested in.

The mother of the Van den Heuvel siblings who married into the Sweere line was Johanna Van de Logt. I made a large amount of additions in the Van de Logt line today as well.

I try to find a few hours every week to review individual data and edit the information in order to achieve a uniform presentation. When I first uploaded my original data from FamilyTreeMaker, a lot of source and note errors were generated due to incompatible event tags between that program and the TNG sitebuilding program I’m using for website presentation. Little by little, those errors are being corrected.

Today I made my way from the beginning of the Sweere(n) line on down, editing sources and notes along the way, and comparing what I had to what information is available in the Noord-Brabant Civil Archives. This will be an ongoing task, since information at that archive is continously updated as new records are transcribed.

Cornelis Adriaan Sweeren is the earliest individual in the Sweere ancestral line. Until now, I only had solid proof of one son, Adrianus (b. 1715), by him with Magaretha Maertens van Gils. Today I was thrilled to discover the birth record of a second son, Cornelius (b. 1717). This gives me a whole new line of at least ten generations to pursue!

I also completed the addition, with reference to the Civil Archives, the offspring of Adrianus Sweere, born 04 Jul 1829, Standaartbuiten, Noord Brabant, Netherlands, m. Johanna Jacoba van Baal. Those individuals are:

1. Gerardus Godefridus Sweere, b. 10 Apr 1855, Willemstad, Noord-Brabant
2. Cornelis Hubertus Sweere, b. 01 June 1856, Willemstad, Noord-Brabant
3. Jacobus Josephus Sweere, b. 1859, Willemstad, Noord-Brabant
4. Elisabeth Antonia Sweere, b. 15 Feb 1865, Willemstad, Noord-Brabant
5. Johannes Antonius Sweere, b. 05 Mar 1874, Willemstad, Noord-Brabant
6. Antonia Jacoba Sweere, b. 11 Jul 1875, Willemstad, Noord-Brabant
7. Godefridus Maria Sweere, b. 08 Jan 1877, Willemstad, Noord-Brabant
8. Maria Elisabeth Sweere, b. 06 Feb 1861, Willemstad, Noord-Brabant

Last but not least, I discovered the death record of my own great-grandfather’s son, Leonardus Johannes Josephus Sweere. Previously, all I knew from informal family information was that there was a son named Leo born in 1903 who did not immigrate to the US with the rest of family. I’m keeping my eyes peeled for Leo’s birth record. RIP, Leo.
