Johannes Joseph Wilhelm Sindorff, in French Jean Joseph Guillaume Sindorff was born in Venlo, the Netherlands (Europe) on 6 January 1889, deceased in Tilburg 6 October 1936, being the fourth child of his father Karel Antoon Hubert SINDORFF (1841-1896) and his mother Anna Gertrudis Hubertina BLOEMEN (1853-1931). Siblings were his older sister Antoinetta Marie Wilhelmina Sindorff (1878-x), his brothers Franciscus Raimond Henricus Sindorff (1880-1952), Karel Henri Hubert Sindorff ((1882-1884) and younger sister Maria Anna Carolina Sindorff (1891-1969). Jean is buried on begraafplaats St. Josephstraat 109 Tilburg, Puthe Netherlands.

The family lived during the time that the 1st World War, between 1914-1918, took place, even though the Netherlands was neutral, living so close to the Belgium border the family must have experience effects, and during the 2nd World War between 1940-1945 Jean lost his son.

On 26 June 1906 the "Gelderlander" reports that Jean passed his exames a few weeks earlier on the Gymnasium and the Bisschoppelijk College in Roermond., a beta student.

At the age of 15 Jean was registered as boarding student on 21 September 1904 in Roermond and left on 12 December 1906 to Utrecht where he graduated at the University of Utrecht, which was published in an Indonesian trade newspaper on 15 December 1908 in Surabaya.

There is a far away story once told by Hermanus Theorodus Sindorff (1937-2021), his grand father Franciscus Raimond Henricus Sindorff (1880-1952) was the brother of Jean, and the story was about ´de kat Angelino´, which is a rather special name. Kat means cat. Whether this had to do with the so named co-student of Jean, in the advertisement it states `P. de Kat Angelino`, or the flight history of Herman as a pilot, likely to be true, is unknown to date. It made Herman smile and is also indeed a great and beautiful name chosen by this family. He came regularly in Hoenderloo visiting his grandfather.

Jean was participant in a request to the College to investigate some issues and to end disorder, published in Vox studiosorum, a student weekly paper jrg 46, 1910 no 33.
