Tjitte Heerkes family taking surname SMIT under 1811 decree

In 1811, when the Netherlands was under the domain of France, Napoleon, emperor of France, decreed that all the Frieslanders should have surnames. This is the page in the registry (29_05 Joure - folio 69 verso) for Joure on which Tjitte Heerkes officially takes the surname SMIT. The page then lists his children (his wife would have had a different surname): Heerke, age 20; Janke, 12; Bontje, 9; Jentje, 5 - all living at Joure; the record is dated 15 Mar 1812
