This page gives a chronological overview of all the Wulgaert references I found, but which I was unable to link with my branch of the family. Please contact me if you can help me with more information, so I can complete the family tree and link some of these branches with my branch. I am especially interested in :

1. the older Wulgaert's; I would like to be able to link them with my oldest known forefather, Christoffel.
2. the American branch of our family (living in Wisconsin and Illinois).

Judocus probably lived in Waarschoot. I believe he was married to Van De Kerchove Susana because his name is linked to hers in the birth listings of Waarschoot. Susana was the godmother of Carolus De Smet (born in Waarschoot on 17/08/1628 and babtised 20/08/1628). The parents of Carolus were Carolus De Smet and Georgia Clays (godfather of Carolus was Carolus De Smet).
