Are First Lolke and Second Hessel Twins? [4 July 2012]

Are Hessel and Lolke twins? There is an explicit source placing Hessel's birth in November, and if Lolke really was aged one year when he died in November, 1812 he too must have been born about November. But if so, why does the Naamsaanneming only list Lolke? Was he really born very early in 1811, so that his brother could still be born in November? --Pkeegstra 06:37, 3 July 2012 (EDT)

I think Hessels bith date is wrong he is sergeant majoor in 1830. Iimagine that a boy of 20 years old is to young to be sergeant majoor

Or perhaps sergeant majoor was the rank he had at the end of his military career.... --Pkeegstra 18:06, 3 July 2012 (EDT)

I just checked my second cousin's tree at Ancestry, and she has only one Hessel Gaeles Bouma, born 1801. So I guess we'll have to call that 1811 date a typo. --Pkeegstra 20:12, 3 July 2012 (EDT)
