Volunteers use DNA technology, use artist intelligence to find lost fishermen in the North Sea

Jean Van Den Berg, his father disappeared seven decades ago – a few days ago lost in a storm a few days before birth. Now he was 70 years old, in the hope of finding the smallest fragment of his father’s remains.

Urk, a fishing village in northern Netherlands, has succeeded in the sea for families in the sea – but often encounter relatives.

Some organs never appeared. Others werehed ashore on the shores of the German or Danish and were buried in unnamed graves.

Despite the tragedy, Van Den Berg – became a fisherman as the last of the six children, as his brothers and the sons of the North Sea.

“We never found his body,” said the AFP down in the warehouse under the brave hat.

However, after uncertainty, progress in DNA technology and artificial intelligence was updated in Van den.

The researchers are now able to earn more accurate answers to families with live relatives and the long-awaited answers to families.

“Many families still look at the front door, and they will pass through each other.”

“All sunken boats are mapped. Using modern technology, we look at the air and currents during shipbuilding to evaluate the places of fishermen’s shore.”

The man who went missing for 47 years was returned to the family

The foundation, Identiteit Gezocht (person seeking personality), aims to identify all the unknown graves on the shores of the North Sea.

New searches have already fruited. A small island in the north of the Netherlands recently returned to a body in Schiermonnikoog recently.

“This man had been missing for 47 years. After all this time, the DNA and this new method of working, allowed him to discover that he came from the URK,” he said.

Another Hakvoort, France Hakvoort, the foundation supports the foundation with the support of a closely woven protestant society where most family names are often reced.

Three people who lost a relative in the sea, dedicate their free time to seek missing.

“We are looking for a press articles published after a body, maybe in special cases,” he said.

“We enter all this information into a database to see if we can build a link. If so, we contact local authorities to see how their body upgrades.”

The Netherlands led to other North Sea countries in identifying missing, and about 90 percent of unknown institutions and all DNA profiles are kept in the European database.

Given the ordinary fishing areas and dominated currents, URC fishermen are more likely to buriate Germany or the shores of Denmark.

The Foundation called on the identification of unknown graves in Germany and Denmark.

“Denmark and Germany are of great importance, because this relatively many fishermen are washed in the shore. All the help we want to appeal to strikers,” Het said to Ukerland newspaper.

The fund is mainly working with volunteers and should work with donors and sponsors. Hakvoort said to Nos A member of the people recently gave 5,000 euros.

“It remains an open wound”

Jean Van Den Berg employs his fingers with his father’s name, carved a monument to a fishermen looking at the Urk beach.

The list is long. More than 300 names – fathers, brothers and sons, stretch up to the 18th century.

There are no about 30 fishermen among the names. Keyes missing since 1997, 19 years old. Americo Martins, 47, 2015.

The statue of a woman returned to the sea, and hopes all these mothers and wives hoping for each other.

“My father disappeared during a storm on October 1954 in 1954,” he said in 1954, “said Van Den Berg.

“One morning came out of the port for his North Sea. I did not have to go for a long time to be born.”

Also, his uncle, then he later said the wild waves flying the ship on his father’s deck.

The tragedy still amazes the family so far.

“When the fish pulled nets on the deck, my older brothers can always be something like a person,” Van den said Berg.

In 1976, his uncle’s ship disappeared with the two of the two and 17-year-old and the cousin on the board.

Jan Jurie’s body was among those who found the body of great, four months later.

Others never found.

“Days do not think of them, all these people do not think, and therefore, I like the search and like DNA because it remains an open wound.” “I would like my father to place at least a small bone to my mother’s grave.”
