Commentary	Frans de Block lived in Haarlem. Claes Pau (or Pauw) was a dealer in hops for making beer. He and his wife Catharina Vogels had their son Antonij baptized in the N.K. on 10 February 1626 in the presence of Janneken Ewouts (DTB 40/332). On 27 April 1627, the couple had another child named Anthonij baptized in the O.K. in the presence of Wouter Rasta de Ram and Janneken Geurts (DTB 6/172). He paid a tax of 15 f. in 1631, at which time he was living on the West side of the O.Z. Voorburchwal (Kohier, fol. 45vo, p. 11). He was a buyer at Orphan Chamber auction (R 23378 of Montias2).
