The phrase 'department of the Scheldt' is the term that was used to denote the
drainstructure of the river Scheldt, this as an aside, and the father was not able to sign,
-could not write.Ertvelde is nearly next to Zelzate here, where i live.In the evening i can see the lights.
I would write "Van Hijfte", Werner;otherwise it is here pronounced as Van Hiefte..

The American way and the Flemish way would be indeed Van Hiefte if you say it right the ij is not used in English and in many act the variation between Van Hyfte and Van Hijfte is difficult to see sometime the ¨ is not clear and then it becomes Van Hyfte.
Always look at acts above and under to see how the klerk wrote the acts
as well in French, Flemish and Latin.
