      I am not sure if Armin’s maternal grandparents were Petrus Johannes Antonius Verwaijen and Geertruida Maria Vester. http://www.tomverwaijen.nl/genealogien/verwaijen.htm#XV-BZ_b

      It says that Petrus’ occupation was “woninginrichter” (home furnisher), that matches the description: “Her family owned furnishing shop and she had happy childhood.” Can you verify this?
