Garret, Steven, Scott, Andrew (These names appear to be grandchildren of Wybo.) and an "Aunt Lorranne (Lorainne?). He also served in the Royal Dutch Army from what I've been told. I'm not too sure on the dates, but I was told that he was a captain and was captured by the Japanese when they took the island of Java. It has also been told to me that when he was liberated at the end of World War II that he was sent to be examined/treated at the medical facilities on Hawaii, USA. It was there that he met my grandmother, Allyne Alday, who was serving in the Womens' Army Corps. I wish I had the chance to speak with him about the war and other events in his life, but he had moved to Belgium, I believe, when I was still young. (Scott Semmelink) Just to give you a rough estimate, Wybo has 10 true grandchildren, 1 adopted grandchild, and also a stepgrandchild. He also has 2 great-grandchildren and 1 adopted great-grandchild. Both adoptions were of children who were born to mothers before marriage to a male Semmelink descendant. (Scott Semmelink)
