  • Mother José, her brother Peter and sister Meta arrived in Fremantle on the Groote Beer. Her three brothers, Frits, Hugo and Rudi had been sent ahead by their father to explore the family's opportunities. José later married Peter C.D. Overman who became a renowned architect in Perth. They had two daughters, Monique (1961) and Lizette (1962). José departed Australia in 1973 and died in 2000.
