Hebben meer mensen dit verzoek gekregen?
Hallo mirjam van rooijen,
[uw bericht]
Met vriendelijke groet,
sergio aguiar
I am writing to request your help and cooperation.
My name is Sergio Aguiar and I am responsible for the Archives and Library of Santa Maria de Guía, a town located on the island of Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain.
In our archives of the Local Record Office we have a very important collection of negatives taken by a Dutch photographer,who lived in our city from 1953 to 1963. He had a photo studio whose name was ?Foto Johns?.
As we have been able to check in our local archives,he was registered with the following information: He was called Gaspar (Casper ?) Johns van Leeuwen, he was born in Gouda in 26 november, 1921 and his father´s name was Francisco (Frank/ Franciscus/Frans van Leeuwen) and his mother?s Guillermina (Wilhelmina Jongeneel ?)
At this moment we have just finished to catalogueand digitalize his photographic collection with all the information we had about him in order to offer researchers a more complete and accurate information.
Looking forward to your news, we request your help to see if you have some information about him and his family that could help us.
Hij ondertekent met zijn naam en e-mailadres. Klinkt op zich niet als een misleidende mail.
Nou kom ik zelf nooit in Gouda, maar ik zie wel het trouwen van de ouders in genlias staan op 1-11-1916. En een andere site met de stamboom verder terug. Maar ik denk dat men in wat recentere gegevens geïnteresseerd is.
Vind het toch een beetje vreemd. Hoezo ik? Vandaar mijn vraag of hij zich tot meer mensen gewend heeft.
Groeten, Mirjam
