The Orphans Home
My great grandmother Jansje Bas died in 1893 My great grandfather Louis Poulain in 1897. When he died he left behind 7 children. The oldest Louis was already married. My grandfather Felicien at the age of 18 years with 3 of his younger brothers finished up in a orphans home. We do not know how long they stayed there. In the photo is the home. It is there still today but no longer for the same use it is about 150 years old and stands in a place called Koog a d Zaan.
