Notes about Peter Gerardus Hubertus "Piet" Potten

Van zijn Heeroom Terentius Potten ( rec. nr. 74) leerde zijn vrouw (Huube Betje) het onderstaande versje:
-Ieder huisje heeft zijn kruisje.
-Is het niet binnen dan is het buiten.
-Is het niet binnen of buiten.
-Dan is het niet Gods-huisje.
De zoon Lei ( rec. nr. 43) van Piet Potten kan zich herinneren dat zijn vader hem vertelde dat broeder ( Sjang) Terentius Potten ooit een genealogisch onderzoek heeft gedaan naar zijn eigen familie die afkomstig was uit Broekhuizen. Jammer genoeg is dit onderzoek verloren gegaan tijdens de tweede wereld oorlog 1940-45.
