Taco Goulooze replied to Laura Cosgrove Lorenzana's discussion From Utrecht to Brazil - Resources? in the group Dutch genealogy"I just read on the Nationale Militie Certificaat (image 1009 from the previous link to the marriage supplements) says that NJFW had a one year's reprieve from military service on the grounds that he is an only child. So much for siblings!"
