Bedoel je de variaties van het uiteinde van het patroniem ? Eigenlijk is het enige wat echt van belang is van een patroniem, de voornaam van de vader, dat was de naam die ze wilden door geven aan de volgende generaties, dus in dit geval was haar vader zeer waarschijnlijk Jan (hoewel soms voornamen als Johannes, of Joan, Joannes ook wel eens werden afgekort tot Jan)
Dus of het uiteinde Jan(ssen) was of Jan(sen) of in sommige streken misschien Jan(s) Jan(z) of Jan(sdr) of Janszoon, doet er niet zo heel veel toe. Alle varianten kun je altijd toevoegen als other last name ;)
Voor de zoektocht naar haar vader zou je eventueel dus ook nog kijken of misschien een Jo(h)an(nes) of Jo(h)annis een dochter Berendina heeft gedoopt.
Do you mean the variations in the ending of the patronymic? Actually, the only thing that really matters of a patronymic, is the first name of the father, that was the name they wanted to pass on to the next generations, so in this case her father was very likely Jan (although sometimes given names like Johannes, or Joan, Joannes sometimes were abbreviated to Jan).
So whether the end was Jan (ssen) or Jan (sen) or in some regions maybe they used endings like Jan (sz) Jan (z) or Jan (sdr) or Janszoon, doesn't really matter so much . You can add all variants to the other last name field. For the search for her father you might also want to try if perhaps a Jo(h)an(nes) or Jo(h)annis has baptized a daughter Berendina..
And something else is, women those days didn't always use the patronymics or last names of their husbands like nowadays, so unless there is a record that shows the wife 'adopted' her husbands first name or his patronymic or last name and used it as her 'last name', we don't add it for the wifes as their last name. Patronymics and all the repeated names can already be very confusing, so by adding the patronymics of the husbands to te wifes as well, things can become very confusing and mistakes are made very quick. And before you know it a whole family is tangled up ;)
Those days men sometimes adopted the family name (last name) of their wife, if they married someone from a more wealthy family (so with a more well known name already) So for all goes only if there is a record where they are mentioned with the last name, we will add it.
