One son, Joseph, survived the Holocaust; the other eight children and their families were killed in the Shoah.

After their wedding in March 1896, Levie Dingsdag and his wife Mietje Theeboom, moved into a house in the Valkenburgerstaat, where they have resided until January 1927 in five different house numbers.
