3. Alfredo Deetjen Merecette was born in 1826 in Cap-Haitien, Haiti or Dajabón, Domican Republic and died from Dec 1895 to 1897 in Cap-Haitien at age 69.

General Notes: Lived in the Eastern Part of the Island which at the time was under control of the Haitien government, now know as the Dominican Republic and worked with his brother at first, then became a politician. He fought for the independence from Spain and from Haiti.

Judge at the Tribunal of Commerce in Santiago, DR.

"When working in genealogy in the Dominican Republic, there are provinces each having a capital or provincial seat: Santiago de los Caballeros is the seat (or capitol) of Santiago etc. Also those born before 1844, are not born in the Dominican Republic but on the Island of Santo Domingo. During 1822 and 1844 Haiti ruled the whole island. During that time many Haitians took residency in the east part of the island such as: Heureaux, Charpentier, Deetjen.... so that Alfredo Deetjen Merecette was born in Dajabón, Island of Santo Domingo and not in the Dominican Republic. It was in 1844 with the leadership of Alfredo Deetjen Merecette that the eastern part of the island became independent - free from the Haitian domination and free from Spain." - Louise Gilg

Alfredo married María Elizabeth Westen Arredondo, daughter of Charles Westen and Luisa Arredondo Hinojosa, on 12 Aug 1848. María was born about 1832.

4. Raoul Deetjen was born in Holland and died in Cap-Haitien.

General Notes: Louise: "There is no proof that Raoul was a sibling to Carlos & Alfredo. From the children of Alfredo (Nana's brother) and of Raoul, I have been told we are related. And the above makes sense to me. I have proof that Carlos and Alfredo were brothers. That the Carlstroem first son was called Philip Alfred could refer to Nana's father Alfredo, or again to her brother."

Came to Cap Haitien via Strasbourg circa 1800

Politician

Deputy of Cap-Haitien

When asked again in May 2007 the following response was provided by L. Gilg: "I am not sure. From one of the sources it seems that Wilhem Deetjen had three children in Cap-Haitien before he married Catherine Merecette. One of the three was Raoul. All the descendants of Raoul claim that we are related. When I first met Georgette and her daughter Anne Taika they told me that Raoul had come to Cap-hatien via Strasbourg. However the only one I know that came from Holland was Wilhelm . I believe we are related so I would keep the line active but with question mark as to Raoul. I tend to believe he was an illegitimate son of Wilhelm. He was very active in politics in Capsaicin as I mentioned the descendants firmly believe we are related."

Raoul married Légitime Béliard, daughter of Baron Béliard Of Henri Christophe Court and Unknown.
