notes about my family history

(collected information through email correspondence with my grandfather / his genealogical bookwork about our family tree / a genealogical bookwork made by one of his brothers):

My grandfather's grandfather was a Dutchman called Jacobus Carolus (van Bochove) who moved to Suriname around the 1880s (?).

There isn't a lot known of him.

He was born in 1866, he moved to Suriname at a young age (he had his first child at the tender age of 23 in 1889 (my grandfather's father)) and he was a military man.

Both his parents died shortly after each other, at a young age (around their mid-thirties) allegedly from a cholera epidemic.

It is speculated that his military profession and the fact that he became an orphan had something to do with him migrating to Suriname.

He had one older brother (date of death unknown) and four younger siblings of whom three died within their first year of life.
