Antoine Joseph van der Poorten + Ranmenike
Antoine Joseph, was a Fleming
from Brussels. His family was in the stained glass industry and may have been
of Jewish origin. It is believed there was a Jewish branch of this family in
Holland, which was wiped out, or almost wiped out, by the Nazis. It is also
mentioned that the Germans wanted him to be a spy and that he had refused them.
Antoine Joseph senior worked in the Belgian Congo and escaped a shipwreck with
another person in a small boat - he was in fear his companion would turn
cannibal. He had a very interesting diary but no one knows what happened to
this.
Antoine had devout Roman Catholic parents who wanted
him to join the priesthood. He refused and went to the Congo instead.
His common-law wife in Ceylon was a Sinhalese lady (probably
Kandyan) named Ranmenike.
