Notes:
Biography:
He and his family lived in Caracas. He was Consul in La Guaira, Venezuela for Holland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and others because he was fluent in several languages. Today, La Guaira is just a few minute ride down the hill from Caracas, however, before the turn of the century it was a long trip. So, Johan used to live during the week in La Guaira and go home to Caracas when he could.
Johan had a sister named Mimi. This we know from a circa 1860 picture with the caption "Tia Mimi hermana mia querada de Papa LH" and a picture of Carlos with the caption "Para mis queridos tia Mimi, Mamachi + Papachi, de su sobrino Carlos, Julio 16/1894"

8. | Johan Christoffel Scholtsz was born in in Duchy of Limburg; died on 1 Mar 1819 in Curaçao. Notes:
The marriage banns and marriage record are extremely hard to read but according to the translator it says that Johan is from Elssloth in the Duchy of Limburg. The Duchy of Limburg is in what is now Belgium.
The only problem is that the only Elssloth I can find was in the Duchy of Oldenburg in Germany a couple hundred miles away.
There were several small villages in the Duchy of Limburg whose names look similar to a hand written Elssloth such as Elendorff.
