Jacomina Johanna Maria Eksteen was christened on 28 Oct 1792. [1]
This confirms a birth year of 1792, and makes the stated age in her death notice 2 years older than her actual age of 82 and 8 months. The christening record is of poor quality and needs to be transcribed to ascertain the spellings and the names of the witnesses.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Jacomina Johanna Maria by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Jacomina Johanna Maria:
By calculation back from her death date minus 84 yrs and 8 months, one arrives at a birth date of 20 Oct 1790, so we need to find a birth or baptism record, as this disagrees with the stated birth date on the profile.
