• Notes

  Email from Gert Reintjes, February 8, 2003. He, his wife Anny and Aunt Mary got this information at the archives in Boxtel. "Many years ago there was a Mr. Jan Beekmans. He was very interested in 26 Zouaves which came from Boxtel. After several years research he made one big file of all the Zouaves, with one of them Jan Gerard Reintjes. We got a lot of information and I made copies which I sent to you yesterday by post. A little summary: Jan Gerard Reintjes was born 19-01-1850 at St. Oedenrode. Moved to Dinther in 1862 or 1872 (not clear) I think 1862. 1870 he went to Rome for fighting as Zouave (soldier for the Pope) voluntary from July 14, 1870 til September 20, 1870, to defend the States fo the Church. He earned a distinction "Bene Merenti Med". After the "war" he returned to Dinther, and moved to Boxtel December 21, 1874. He married Petronella Paulina Raaijmakers!! May 8, 1876 at Boxtel. They became 4 daughters and 5 sons. He died January 27, 1920 at Boxtel."
