About Me:

My name is Carlo. I studied "Communication and Information Technology" on the faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Eindhoven University of Technology. Even today learning new things is still one my greatest interests. I have a broad interest. I follow the news and try to discover the deception and disinformation. I try to figure out the big puzzle of contemporary history. Contemporary history describes the historical time frame that are immediately relevant to the present and is a certain perspective of modern history. I try to understand the question: "why are the things as they are?" Most of us haven't clearly noticed, but there is a war going on at the moment. It's the war of information, power and world control. Aspects of the war are international terrorism, global warming, flu pandemic, gold price, civil liberties, banking problems, economical collapse etc.... If you like to now more about it you can visit my historical booklet.

Beside learning I like to communicate with, and to listen to interesting people. I like to enjoy nature, architecture, other cultures and exotic food. I like cooking, try to experiment with different and exotic recipes.

 

Family Vogels:

Les non-noble genera are able to carry their genealogical tree so far back as the family Vogels. The almost complete family tree, which starts in the middel of the 13ͤ century, was written down in 1917 in the book "Het Aloude Geslacht Vogels" by "André M.C.M Vogels and published by "Naamlooze Vennootschap Drukkerij De nieuwe Tijd Amsterdam". The book "Vogels Studiebeurzen" from A.F. van Beurden gives another inside look on the family. The genera has brought forward many deserving members in church and held many public functions in the town Maastricht and Horn County. As the family tree shows, the family is indirectly related to the ruling House of Horn. The county Horn was an autonomous mini-state between 920 and 1795 with the administrative state Horn (Castle Horn), later became shifted to Weert. The historical castles are Castle Horn, De Aldenborgh, Nijenborgh. The last count, Philip de Montmorency, better known as "The Count of Hornes" was with Count Egmont Lamoral of one of the leaders of the opposition to Philip II of Spain. Their beheading in 1568 at the Grand Place in Brussels was the final signal for the Dutch revolt. After the execution and in the absence of a male heir Horn came back in a personal union with the Principality of Liège. In 1795 the little state was annexed by the French Republic and included in the department of the Lower Meuse. After the Vienna Congress in 1815 it became a municipality of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. County Horn cease to exist but the descendants of the family Vogels can still be found in this region as well in other parts of The Netherlands and Belgium, as Limburg, Brabant, North and South Holland, Luik, Brussel and Antwerpen.
