The Saeijs of Sleidinge and Zeeland

The whole road of the family on one hand-coloured map of the seventeenth century: Sleyinghe and Everghem at the bottom, Caperycke, Oost-Eeckeloo and Basse-velde in the middle, and above them the patchwork of polders that runs up to Oostburch and Ysendyke, where Eduardus would settle two centuries later
