EXTRACTS OF THE REGISTER OF INSCRIPTION
WITH THE TRADE OF THE MILLERS OF BRUSSELS
The registers of inscription in the trades constitute a privileged source, though often neglected, of genealogy. Because of the restricted rights paid by elder sons and often the others sons of Masters, the first name of the father is nearly constant in this kind of mentions. Moreover sometimes the birthplace is mentioned, which is always invaluable for the urban genealogies. The quality of middle-class man, obligatory for the inscription, is almost always present. Among the registers of inscription in the trades best held, we find those of the butchers, the boatmen, the fishmongers and the drapers.
The register n° 741 of the Funds Trade association and Oaths, resting with the General Files of the Kingdom, contains the inscriptions of the millers of Brussels and surroundings in the Trade of the Millers of Brussels. We extracted from them those which concern certain families whose names follow. The mentions of inscription stipulate in general that the candidate is middle-class from the town of Brussels, that it lent oath and achieved the proof (of its hability ?) at the time of the inscription. Sometimes these two stipulations take place later, and dates it is specified by it. They are not always taking place. From the second quarter of XVIlle century, the mentions in question disappear.
Of a confrontation with genealogies published, we had hoped to draw certain standards from age to the inscription. It does not have of it anything be. The only observation was that the two genealogies concerned, van der Borcht and Orts, were manifestly incomplete, which is not a reproach in oneself (J Cuypers, van der Borcht, Brabantica, T IV; Mrs. Dolez, Orts, Tablettes of Hainaut, T I).
We make precede these inscriptions by a list of the seniors of the trade of 1675 to 1695, supplementing that published by A. Wauters (A.Wauters, List of the seniors of the trades of Brussels, 1696 to 1795).
