Michel Wilhelm Nuboer (1916-1980) left Paramaribo in 1941/42 as an Assistant in the engine’s department of a freight ship bound to Curaçao during the Second World War. The ship may have likely been carrying aluminum aggregates for making fighter planes in the U.S. as cargo. Upon arrival, he probably was a gunner first, but then became a Medical Assistant stationed on Bonaire. During the 1960s - 1974+ he was a First Aid Medical Trainer in the Volunteer Corps Curaçao (VKC). On August 21st , 1969, Michel Wilhelm Nuboer received the Order of Orange-Nassau (no. 122) from Her Majesty the Queen.

Zeer verrast om te ontdekken dat mijn vader Pedro Henrietta (stamboeknummer 6268) als schutter tijdens de oorlog meevocht. Graag wil ik weten waar ik inhoudelijk informatie kan vinden. Ik ben dankbaar dat ik dit nog ontdekt heb. Het verklaart zoveel over zijn karakter en de lieve herrineringen dat ik van hem heb. Helaas was hij op 50 jarige leeftijd door een bedrijfsongeval komen te overlijden.

Hallo, Is er iemand die weet waar deze stamboeken zijn? Ik ben specifiek opzoek naar stamboeknummer 3319.
Na lang zoeken in diverse archieven, ben ik gaan navragen bij het archief op Curaçao, Aruba en in Nederland. Hun kunnen mij niet vertellen waar het is. Vandaar dat ik het nu toch maar via deze weg probeer.
Ik hoop dat er hier iemand is die mij op weg wil helpen.
Alvast bedankt!

Erg interessante site. Ik ben op zoek naar gegevens over Sgt Elias Frank, geb. 28 okt 1916 in Tilburg. Hij was tijdens de oorlog gestationeerd op Aruba. Hij reisde in 1945 met Sgt Petrus Marinus Verwijmeren naar New York. Deze vind ik terug op de site, maar alle informatie over Elias is welkom.

Thinking of my Uncle, George Owen Kunkle, who died in the torpedo attack on the USS Erie near Willemstad, Curacao, November 12, 1942. God Bless George and all of the selfless, brave heroes who have given their all to defend others from evil.

De naam van de schutter stamboeknummer 1604 moet zijn Enico Amabel SEVERINA. Dus niet 'Emco'. Ik ben een van zijn kinderen.

Thanks to the chance meeting of this website, I have begun to discover previously unknown data about my ancestor Henri Carbonell. I hope that from this testimony, I can reveal more information about Henri's life. Many thanks for your job.

Your site has solved a lingering question about how my father's best friend Henri Carbonell died. We knew it was an accident but we didn't know where or what exactly occurred. Thank you for your help.
