Justification of
Coat of Arms:
1.
The colours sable and gold refer to
Brabant.
2.
The eleven billets refer to the 11
children of the prominent ancestor Joannes
De Brabandere - Florentia De Wulf, and also to the
11 children of Hector Debrabandere x Juliana Vanneste:
brothers and sisters and my deceased father Roger
(1923-1988) who died far too early. Eleven also refers
to reconciliation: 11 November a day of peace.
(Meaning of the number elf: 11 a turning point, 11
another one down to experience, 11 one team.)
3. The colours or and azure are derived from Kachtem, the
place of residence of our prominent ancestor Joannes De
Brabandere (1685-1761) who lived on the Rhodes estate. He
was mayor of the seigniory of the same name. The wavy,
narrow baston represents the Rhodebeek, a small stream that
cuts right through the middle of the estate.
4. The two modern bundles of ten thunderbolts (for
lighthouses, antennae, clusters), separated by water, refer
to the present generations who are active in electronics and
information technology (cable distribution, communication,
networks, data processing, quality control,...). Wherever
“communication” is important.
5. The motto “... My quest, my efforts...”
(Efforts > engagement > ambition > the aim ...), alludes to the
individual nature of the applicant family, where a
philosophy of peace and security, communication,
scholarship, inquisitiveness, and assiduous research are
central.
Addendum: The two thunderbolt groups divided by a road,
water (canal, stream, river, brook) symbolize modern
communication. JM worked in electronics; Research and
Development (R&D) technologist.
- The experiment with the kite (kite
experiment). In the middle of the 18th century
(1752) the American natural scientist
Benjamin Franklin
(17.01.1706
Boston - 1790
Philadelphia) son of
(Josiah x 25.11.1689 Boston Abiah Folger) became world
famous by demonstrating that lightning is an electrical
phenomenon.
