Catharina was very probably named after her paternal grandmother Trijntje Dam, Aukje after her paternal aunt Aukje Jongsma, born in October 1899 in Sloten (who died very likely before 1905, but her death certificate couldn't be found. Was Aukje's -early- death forgotten to be declared at the town hall? She was the first child of Pieter Jongsma and Metje Verbeek, who married on 20 November 1904 in Sloten, the birth and residence place of her father. It is said that she is born in that tiny country city of Sloten, or in the country village Idskenhuizen, both located in the lake district in the southwestern part of the Dutch northern province Friesland. However, her birth certificate (geboorteakte) couldn't be found in January 2014 in either one of those places. It looks strongly that her father omitted to declare Kaatje's birth at the city hall.
