Birth
The records of baptism from Oostburg in this period were destroyed during WWII. A handwritten genealogy of the Bekaar family, compiled in 1913, has Abraham born on December 21, 1695 (see sources below).
Marriage
Abraham married Josina de Koning, according to several online genealogies in 1714. Records from that period, however, were destroyed during WWII. We find confirmation of their union in the fact that tey were both mentioned as parents at the baptism of their son Jan[1].
After the death of Josina Abraham married Magdalena van der Putte in IJzendijke on November 3, 1734. We only know about this marriage from a handwritten genealogy on the Bekaar family, compiled in 1913. The original records were destroyed during WWII.
