Ik kende ome Jan toen ik een jaar of vijf was. Tante Jantje en ome Jan stonden op het punt om naar Canada te emigreren. Ik weet nog dat ome Jan een aquarium in de woonkamer had en volgens mij was hij melkboer. Hij overtuigde mijn ouders ook om naar Canada te gaan (Piet en Annie Alberts) We hadden de keuringen al gehad maar toch ging het op het laatst niet door. Mijn moeder wilde het niet. Ik ben meegeweest naar de boot waarmee ze vertrokken. Het was de "seven Seas". Oom en tante heb ik een aantal keren ontmoet tijdens hun bezoek naar Nederland. O.a. bij mijn ouders in Emmen en bij mij thuis in Enschede, Toen was Jan bij de bewaking. Dus bijne een collega van mij, omdat ik politieman was. Hier is meer te lezen over de familie Alberts. https://www.gejoonline.nl/genealogie-fam-alberts/ - Posted by: Gejo ALBERTS (Hij was mijn oom.) on: Jul 29, 2021
