GEDCOM Note

EVENT-MISC: Person Source

Please note: Where addresses are shown with roman numerals in brackets, ie (II), this indicates the floor number of their address. The tenement buildings were divided in floors with a familiy living on each floor.

At the time of his marriage, Isidore was 20 years old and Johanna was 25 years old. Isidore was still a minor. As both his parents were deceased, Meier van Moppes, his brother in Law and husband of his eldest sister played a role in the marriage.

Isidore was of Portuguese Jewish descent and Johanna of the Dutch reformed (Nederlands Hervormd) denomination.

After their marriage they were registered on 4 Jan 1921 as living at Haarlemmerweg 65 (I). Soon afterwards (on 27 Jan 1921) they moved out of Amsterdam and went to The Hague (s'Gravenhage) above a cigar shop in the Kempstraat. The shop wasnot their own, but belonged to a man who owned many cigar shops.. Moeder helped serving the customers and Isidore decorated all the shop window displays. He was quite artistic. When they left the shop they moved to the Scheperstraat 125.

Later on they moved to Bussum where they took over a a barbershop. They did not live near the shop but in the Hildegardestraat. The busines failed as the people of Bussum 'would rather walk an extra half hour to another barber then be served by an 'Amsterdammer'.

Margaretha and Debora were born in Scheveningen, near The Hague. They were named, as was the custom, after their grandmothers.

On 5 Oct 1927, the family moved back to Amsterdam (according to the family card). Isidore was then nearly 27, Johanna was 32, and the girls were 6 and 3 years old.

The family moved frequently for a while. On 5 Oct 1927, they moved to Albert Cuypstraat 114 (I). Six months later (27 Mar 1928) they moved to Perlakstraat 15, which was then a brand new district in the east of Amsterdam known as the 'Indische Buurt'. Fourteen days later (12 Apr 1928) they moved back to the AlbertCuyp-'buurt' to Daniel Stalperstraat 101, and to Van Ostadestraat 16 (I) on 20 Jul 1931.

In 1932 they settled in the Indische Buurt for permenant residence; 9 Mar 1932 to Sumatrastraat 246 (II); 26 Apr 1933 to Kramatweg 94 and on 9 Nov 1936 to Preangerstraat 22 (II).

When the family moved back to Amsterdam Isidore had the religious denomination of all the family members changed to none- (geen). It should be noted that the civil regstrar only changed the religion at the express request of the head of thefamily.

Isidore's profession is stated as 'barbier', an old term for hairdresser or barber. The term used later was that of 'kapper', the modern term for Barber.

Mum remembers that her father, Isidore, sold tobacco and smoking implements as well.

Before and during the war Isidore was the president/chairman of the Allotment committee. He was much respected in his community and very active in his work.

Isidore was captured on 1 July 1941 and held at the prison on the Weteringschans in Amsterdam. From there he was deported to Neuengamme via camps at Schoorl and Amersfort. He died on 2 July 1942. He reached the age of42 years.

Also living at Preangerstraat 6 II was listed a Salomon Levit and Alida Levit-Scheffer.

Living next door at Preangerstraat 4 II lived the family of Simon Kolper and Eva Kolper-de Vries, whilst at number 4 I lived the family of Benjamin Emden.
