Birth of Jan Cornelise Van Tassell

My first child was born on September 30, 1943. Van wanted to name him after the first immigrant in his family to New Netherland, Jan Cornelissen, son of Cornelise Jansen of Schoonrewoerd. Photo was taken by the Chinese photographer Mr Ho when Jan was 6 weeks old. I had been doing book keeping for Omar Bakery. A few months after Jan was born, I developed a goiter from a thyroid problem & was ill for 6 months.

Date & Place: November 1943
