Petronella was baptised
at the Harderwijk
Roman Catholic Church on 16 October 1796[1].
Her
godmother was noted as Maria
Sybilla Rosen (nee Rinck)
who travelled
from Aldenhoven. Presumably, she arrived well in advance of the
birth to assist here daughter-in-law and be present at the baptism.
It must have been quite a journey for Maria Sibylla Rinck, aged 64
years at the time, to travel all the way from Aldenhoven to Harderwijk in those
days. This baptism occurred just over one year since Maria
Sibylla's husband, Petrus Rosen died in Aldenhoven.
Also note the spelling oddities - Roossen and in the same section Roosen when actually Maria Sibylla's surname was Rosen in German.
Nothing more is known about Petronella.
