The name Van
Der Poorten derives from the
Flemish phrase for "from the Port".
1 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.
