Johan Cristafel Scholtz

1837 - 1905  (68 years)

• Name	Johan Cristafel Scholtz  [1, 2, 3]
  Born	23 Jan 1837	Curaçao   [4]
  Gender	Male
  Name	Johan C. Scholtz  [5, 6]
  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"
  Died	26 Jul 1905	Caracas, Venezuela
  	His son Henrique's 1921 passport application stated he was dead about 15 years.
