So now we can find more about Jan.
Oostenburg in Amsterdam where they all lived was the shipyard of the V.O.C .

Oostenburg was a community in Amsterdam .
In the census of 1795 we find that there were 3064 people living there.
There were 323 houses and 969 family´s so there were 3 family´s in one house .
There were more women the men living there at that time 1134 women and 970 men.
Children under 14 488 boys and 472 girls.
As the men worked in the shipsbuilding the women probably worked in the shops.
There were 6 bars ,a baker , a greengrocer ,a fishmonger, a tabaccoshop, and so on.
The population was mixed,as a lot of people came from other country´s to find a job in the booming shipindustry.
Our Jan and Catharina went to Rotterdam and their children are all born there.
Their first born a year later in 1886.
