His parents moved around the inner west district of Amsterdam quite a lot when he was young including time at Sint Nicolaasstraat 54, Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 97, Nieuwe Nieuwestraat 29, Sint Nicolaasstraat 14 and Sint Nicolaasstraat 51[2].


Marriage and Children
Johan married twice.  His first marriage was with Geertruida Johanna Schuckmann on 14 October 1908[3].  Their Intention to Marry were published on 4th and 11th October[4].  Johan worked as a Cigar Sorter and Geertruida had no occupation[3].

Geertruida was born on 14 October 1882 at her parents' house at Leidengracht 148 in Amsterdam.  Her parents were Hermanus Hendricus Schuckmann and Maria Catharina Jansen.  When she was born, Hermanus worked as a Servant/Assistant to a Wine Seller[5].  Some 26 years later, Hermanus worked as a Coffeshop Manager[3].

Like most couples in your Author's family tree, Johan and Geertruida lived in quite a number of homes, presumably renting - in July 1909, Jan P Heijerstraat 112; in July 1910, Westerstraat 109; in October 1910, Sint Nicolaasstraat 51 (his parents' house); in late 1911, Egelantiersgracht 20; and in April 1912, Westerstraat 107[9].

Johan and Geertruida had only one child, Antonius Johannes Gerardus Post, and Geertruida died just 2 days after his birth on 15 December 1913.  There must have been serious complications with he birth but the child lived[6].


from Geertruida's death certificate


Eleven months after Geertruida's death, Johan met and married Maria Elisabeth van der Kooij on 19 November 1914  in Amsterdam.  Their Intention to Marry was published on 7th November only.  Johan was still working as a Cigar Sorter and Maria (known as Marie) had no occupation.  Johan was 33 years old and Marie was 31[7].
