In answer to point 3 under Sources. I checked and the other date 30/1 Oct 1774 looks like Sara Swart-3032 marriage to Cornelis Swartz-2135. These are records that downloaded from another family tree. It does seem as if most of these records come from the GEDCOM file. Sorry about that.

Jansen-2634 and Jansen-431 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicates. I'll do the final integration of the bio after the merge, thanks!

i believe Jansen-2634 is a duplicate due to the proposed merge of Swart-1901 and Swart-602

Hi, could you add the project profile [email address removed] as co-manager to this profile. As soon as the LNAB has been validated with a [transcription of a] baptism [image], we will have this profile Project Profile Protected). Many thanks. Susan (project coordinator)

Jansen-2634 merge Jansen 431???

I have added an image to Jansen-2634 of a family tree handed down to me. This merge would create new merges down the line.
