An email from Hein Boekema (Jan. 2000) mentioned that Dymphna Maria Mathee was married to Albert Mathys according to data he had received from Breda. But the data from the American Family Center, Ellis Island, mentions an age for Albert which shows that it has to be Albert Petrus who married Diaphina. The marriage date forwarded by Hein (1913) is in agreement with the ages of the two girls mentioned on arrival in 1920: Henriette 5 years and Elisabeht 2 years.
