the "other" me


So, I randomly discovered this today:

Another Johanna Weststrate (my maiden name) existed exactly 200 years before me.

Her: born 1779, married 1799, had 2 daughters, 2 years apart.

Me: born 1979, married 1999, have 2 daughters, 2 years apart.


Freeeeeaky.


Now, of course, there are a couple of inconsistencies:

Her: born in Krabbendijkein de Reijgersbergsepolder (try to say that 5 times fast...or even 1 time at all).

Me: NOT born in Krabbendijkein de Reijgersbergsepolder.


Her: Dead at 48.

Me: Not dead yet. I'll keep you posted on this one.

As a random passer, this made me laugh. I sincerely hope you make it much later in life then 48 and the similarities stopped with the city!
