In 1812 the Registars Office was introduced by Napoleon. People who didn't have a surname, had to invent one. Brothers and nephews made their own choice (printed in bold face in the table below). It is clear that the Afman Family has its oldest generations in common with other families, of which the Engels family still exists today.
(In the tables the daughters of the first 9 generations are listed in the same field as their father; the sons figure in the next column.)
