I trace all the way back to around 50 km from where i am typing this message, and because of the location (Hellevoetsluis) and time (1500's) it's pretty plausible that they were in some way involved in this event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Leiden , which is pretty cool. Also, lots of similar named siblings and child death. Nature 🌈
