Volunteers use Dne technology, artificial intelligence to find lost fishermen in North Sea decades ago

Jan van van den Berg looked at the sea when his father disappeared in the last seven decades – lost in a hurrican in a few days before his birth. He is now 70, adhering to hope to find even the small piece of his father’s body.

In Urk, the fishing village in northern Netherlands, the sea has long been secret family – but often they often have loved ones.

Some of the themes have never been closed. Some washed the coast on the German or Danish coast, and they were buried with the names of names.

Despite the disaster, Van Den Berg – The last of six children – became a fisherman as his brothers, despising his mother’s fear that North Sea.

He told AFP in a low voice, “he told AFP by his Word,” he told AFP in a low voice, and calmed down his hat.

But after decades of uncertainty, improvement in DNA technology and artificial intelligence gave Van Den Berg renewing hope.

The investigators now are able to match the living relatives more accurately than ever, to offer long-awaited family answers and the opportunity to keep mourning.

“Many families are based on the front door, hoping that it is inclined to – it will go,” Teun Hakvoort, the UTRK resident serving as a new spokesman dedicated to finding and finding lost fishermen at sea.

“All hair-burned boats are maps. Using the weather, we look at the weather and weather during the breakup rate where the fishermen are likely to clean,” said the 60-year-old meeting.

A person is lost 47 years restored to the family

The foundation, demand gezozo (ID), aims to list all the unknown tombs on the northern coast, hoping to find fossils.

New searches has already been fruitful. The body was just raised in Schiemonnikoog, the small island of Netherlands, we returned to the family.

“The man was lost 47 years. After all this time, DNA and this new work method alles to find out that he came from URK,” Hakvoort said.

Another Hakvoort, Frans Hakvoort, lays the basis of their two brothers in UK, a reddish public, where certain family words are always going down.

The three men, all lost the seaside, dedicate their free time to seek out.

“With AI, we are searching for published pressures after bathing, perhaps in certain cases,” said Frans Hakvoort, 44.

“We include all this information in the database to see if we can find the link. If so, we contact the local authorities to see if they can get any body.”

Netherlands leads to the northern countries in the Northern Countries, he, about 90 percent of unknown families are issued and all DNA profiles are stored in the European Database.

Given regular fisheries and regular currencies, the URK fishers may be buried on the German or Danish coast, he said.

The foundation calls the public to help see unknown tombs in Germany and Denmark.

“Denmark and Germany especially is very important yet, because we expect many fishermen to wash there.

The foundation applies mainly through volunteers and we should do with donors and distributions. Hakvoort told NOS recently a donor euros public.

“It is always an open wound”

Jan van van den Berg runs his fingers in his father’s name, recorded in the container in UK Beach to respect lost fishermen.

List is long. More than 300 words – Fathers, brothers and sons, and backdown in 18th century.

Between the words about 30 fishermen have never been found. Kees Korf, lost from 1997 for 19 years of age. American, 47 Martins, in 2015.

A woman’s template, her back turned to the sea, represent all these moms and their self-esteem.

“My father disappeared during a storm at night in 1966,” said Van Den Berg.

“One morning he left Durban towards the sea and looked at the sea. He should not have to go a long time because I was born.”

His uncle, who also did not have their own, said that his father was in the porch where wild waves passed.

The calamity remains removing the family up to this day.

“When they pulled the nets in the deck and fish, the older brothers were always afraid that something looks,” said Van Den Berg.

In 1976, her uncle’s boat disappeared from two of her cousins, aged 15 and 17, with them.

He was among those who found Jan Jurie’s body, matters, four months later.

Some have never been found.

“Not a day that comes without thinking, all those men, that is why I share in searching for my wound,” he said. “I would like to have a small bone of my father to put my mother’s grave.”
