The original familyroots of this catholic family originate in Tirol, Flirsch. Form the original branch some famous people descends, among them Erich Klausener who was killed in the Night of the Long Knives.

The Belgian branch of the family descends from Paulus Klausener, whose son Johannes-Petrus was an architect.[1] Joannes, an engineer in the Netherlands, was married to Gerinda Geritsen. They are the parents of Jean-Pierre.

  • Jean-Pierre Cluysenaar, he was married first in 1830 to Elisabeth Puttaert and second to Adelaide Puttaert.
    • Gustave
    • Adèle Clotilde Cluysenaar: married to Gustave Jean-Jacques Saintenoy, royal architect of the Count of Flanders.
      • Paul Pierre Jean Saintenoy, architect married to Louise Ponselet, she was the daughter of Victor Nicolas Auguste Ponselet (brewer in Anderlues) and Aurore Pourbaix. ( her aunt Stephanie Pourbaix was married to Jan Verhas, founder of the School of Dendermonde )
        • Jacques Saintenoy, architect married to Simone van den Perre.[2]
        • Jacqueline Saintenoy (1900–1978), married to the executed Pierre Pucheu, former French Minister of the Interior.
    • Jean André Alfred Cluysenaar (1837–1902) married to Marie-Thérèse Cornélis.
      • André Edmond Alfred Cluysenaar (1872 -1939) married to Alice Frances Gordon, born 1869 descendant of George Gordon Byron , 6th Baron Byron.
        • Jean Edmond Cluysenaar (1899–1986) married first to Sybil Fitzgerald Hewat, painter,[3] second to Jacqueline Emilie Collier.

gollark: Wikipedia says that spider silk has a diameter of "2.5–4 μm", which I approximated to 3μm for convenience, so a strand has a 1.5μm radius. That means that its cross-sectional area (if we assume this long thing of spider silk is a cylinder) is (1.5e-6)², or ~7e-12. Wikipedia also says its density is about 1.3g/cm³, which is 1300kg/m³, and that the observable universe has a diameter of 93 billion light-years (8.8e26 meters). So multiply the length of the strand (the observable universe's diameter) by the density of spider silk by the cross-sectional area of the strand and you get 8e18 kg, while the atmosphere's mass is about 5e18 kg, so close enough really.
gollark: Okay, so by mass it actually seems roughly correct.
gollark: So, spider silk comes in *very* thin strands and is somewhat denser than water, interesting.
gollark: You do that, I'll try and find data on spider silk density.
gollark: Actually, this factoid does seem kind of dubious even if it's meant to say "mass"... hmm.
