  • De Zutter in 1885
    Update: February 5, 2013. INFORMATION This booklet of the familly history and genealogy of the DeSutter family is compiled for my friends in Manito-IL. Research of the family started in 1996 after a visit to Clarence L. Palmer in Manito-IL who was married to Betty Lou DeSutter and remarried as widower to my ex sister in law Ardith L.Smit. They introduced me, at the DeSutter family reunion, to their DeSutter relatives and they told me that they were all of Dutch origin. Clarence grandfather was born in Isendieka -IJzendijke- Netherlands. It was Engle Bert Palmer (van Pamelen) who brought the first of the DeSutter's to Manito-IL, namely his spouse Nathalia de Zutter in 1885. The DeSutter families in the Manito-area are descendants from Belgian ancestors, but the ones who came to America lived in Aardenburg. Those DeSutter's took an active part in the growth and development of the Village of Manito-Illinois, USA. Aardenburg is a small city close to the Dutch border with Belgium. It is part of the Sluis Municipality, located in the province of Zeeland in the Netherlands. Its medieval name was Rodenburgh (Red Castle). Until July 1,1966, Aardenburg was a separate municipality. The town was walled at the end of the thirteenth century: the present Kaaipoort at the old town's western entrance dates only from the sixteenth century. The name of the gate recalls Aardenburg's former harbour, the site of which is now dominated by a bank. Augustus de Zutter lived at the address 'Oudestad S220', later at S385 from where he emigrate to Manito-IL.

  • De Sporen Van De Middeleeuwse Kloosters in Het Zeeuwse Landschap
    Wie langs de polderwegen en dijken van Zeeland fietst, kan het niet ontgaan dat veel straatnamen verwijzen naar vroegere abdijen en kloosterinstellingen. Zo vormt de Prelaatweg een deel van de verbindingsweg tussen Westkapelle en Aagtekerke, terwijl de Kloosterweg ten zuiden van Aagtekerke loopt. Ten oosten van Goes ligt de buurtschap Monnikendijk. Tussen Kruiningen en Krabbendijke komen we de Pappenhoek tegen en de Monnikenpolder met de Monnikendijk. Terwijl ook op verscheidene plaatsen elders in Zeeland dergelijke namen voorkomen, zijn het toch vooral de gebieden rondom Cadzand-Nieuwvliet en bij Hulst die het meest opvallen. Zo komen we bij Nieuwvliet de St.-Bavodijk tegen en wat verder naar het westen ligt de St.-Janspolder met de Jansweg. De rondweg bij Sluis loopt door de Bewester-Ede benoorden St.-Pietersdijkpolder, terwijl de Sint Pietersdijk Aardenburg met Sint Kruis verbindt. Ten westen van Hulst treffen we de Cambronpolder aan met de Cambrondijk en de Cambronsestraat. Bij Lamswaarde ligt de Boudelodijk. In de oude steden zelf zoals Sluis, Aardenburg en Hulst herinneren ook nog straten aan oude kloosters, hospitalen en vroegere kerken, die sinds langs zijn verdwenen. Waar komen al die namen vandaan? Hoever gaan die terug in de tijd? En…. zijn namen het enige wat nog aan de oude kloosters herinnert? Midden-Zeeland De namen op Walcheren verwijzen voornamelijk naar de abdij van Middelburg. Deze instelling met een prelaat aan het hoofd, gesticht in 1123, heeft zich bezit verworven op Walcheren en in andere delen van Midden- en Noord-Zeeland. Behalve grootgrondbezitter, oefende de abdij ook in de gewestelijke politiek een grote invloed uit.

  • Evolution of the Dune Ecosystem in Flanders During the Middle Ages : Anthropogenic Factors Versus Sea Level Change Theory 1
    Evolution of the dune ecosystem in Flanders during the Middle Ages : anthropogenic factors versus sea level change theory 1 Beatrijs Augustyn Little is left of the Older Dunes of the Flemish coast. Is this due to the influence of the sea and climate changes, or was it the influence of man that played a major role in this evolution ? It appears that the latter has been the case. INTRODUCTION On the eve of the Great Reclamation Period (11th – 13th century), the Flemish lowlands were protected from the sea by a high and wide range of dunes, which was completely overgrown, wooded even, and which consequently formed a solid natural barrier. Storm surge dikes along the coastline were not required in those days. The slow process of creation and decay of the Flemish coastal dunes in the historical age has until now always been explained in Belgium on the basis of purely physical elements. The repeated transgression phases, or periods of rising sea levels, were believed to have caused the various prolonged floods of the Flemish lowlands. In the light of a contradictory vision with regard to the Dutch coastal dunes (Jelgersma and De Jong, 1970), and the results of more detailed historical research (Augustyn, 1992) we have raised the question as to what extent human activity has contributed to the destruction of the Flemish dune ecosystem, and as to whether it is still possible to sustain the theory about early and full medieval transgression phases (Dunkerque II and III) for the Flemish region. We found that in the Flemish region sea walls that ran parallel to the shoreline had to be constructed only in the early part of the 14th century.

  • 7 the Destruction of Dutch Cities During the Second World War.1
    101 7 The destruction of Dutch cities during the Second World War.1 Introduction Until now, no systematic research has been performed on damage to Dutch cities during the Second World War. Of course the destruction of Rotterdam in May 1940 is well known, but even most inhabitants of the Netherlands are un- aware of the fact that in a considerable part of the country almost all cities were slightly or severely damaged. There seem to be two reasons for this lack of awareness. The first is that the rebuilding of damaged cities coincided with the modernisation of all cities. After the war, in all cities zoning, the separation of urban functions, resulted in locat- ing retail trade and other aspects of the service sector in the city centres at the expense of dwellings and industry, which were transferred to the outer quarters. Therefore most inner cities were restyled and showed the same modern face, so that it was unclear whether this was caused by war or by ‘peaceful’ interventions. The second reason is that the history of Dutch cities during the Second World War focuses on individual cities. Almost all cities and even villages have their own stories of this period, mostly written by local people, bearing bombas- tic titles like ‘How Nijmegen suffered’ or ‘How Groningen fought’. But there is no synthesis. The spatial variable only figures in Dutch general histories of the Second World War when strategic operations are described.2 Therefore, to be able to make any analysis of urban damage it was necessary to do close reading of all 30 volumes of the official Dutch history of the Second World War, written by Lou de Jong3 and, of course, of many monographs on individual cities.
