The index for Wakken, West Vlaanderen indicate that the death record for Christianus Decavel in 1721 is located on page 419 of the register. I have looked and looked at both pages and can not identify his record.

The pages are located at https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSZV-F7M7?i=343&cat=165137 and https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSZV-FQ3V?i=344&cat=165137. Can you please identify the records and provide a translation. Many thanks!

Meg,

I did not see his entry either. I was hoping that you had misread the entry in the index, but that does not seem to be the case. Ok, I hope that the compiler of the index made a (minor) error and just put the wrong page number. Look at each entry for 1721. I am pretty sure you have the right collection.

If that doesn't work, we'll try something else.

Fritz,

I looked at all the entries for 1721 but didn't see any name that looked like Christianus. However, some of the entries are a little difficult to read so I may have missed it. Any suggestions would be most welcome. On another note, I have found the death record for his wife, Elizabetha Van Oeteghem. It is the first entry above the 402 on this page https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSZV-FQ7Y?cat=165137. I read the date of death as 21 March 1710. I can also read that the entry tells were she originated but can not read the name of the town. Can you help?

Thanks!

Meg

The name Is in the first page-

 

Right page, lowest entry,but the spelling follows the old dates.

It is spelled as

Christianus_De_Cavele;.; all separated.Focus your eyes on De_cavele and the "E"s in it.

"De" is under the year.

On your question about Van Oeteghem, no matter how hard i tried i cannot see a location

and what you believe is a location is probably a Latin phrase meaning 'having recieved the holy sacraments...';but i'm unsure, this is more of a matter to Dr Juengling.

 

It is a certainty that the death location is Wakken,given the pastors name.

Thank you so much for finding the Decavel entry! The word I was looking at on the Van Oeteghem entry looked like it might be oriundus or some variation thereof.

I found Elizabetha Van Ooteghem's birth record in Wakken. How I need help with a death record for Laurentius Van Ooteghem located here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSZV-FWGT?i=181&cat=165137. I can not determine if this is her father or her brother (born 17 March 1654). Is there anything in the record to clarify this?

Adrien Kintziger

can you specify page and entry's location?

Anything that indicates his age?

Adrien Kintziger

I do not see anything indicating an age, best guess, .. brother?

Thanks!

I tried to find and locate him in the Belgian Rijksarchief, in the background, but he doesn't show.

Fritz Juengling

Yup, there it is. Don't know how I missed it. It's always good to have another set of eyes. Good job, Adrie!
