Research notes

Marriage to Pietertje Cool

It is said Pietertje Cornelis Cool married Claes Jansen Kuyper van Purmerent ,before 1639.....this is where Pietertje comes from , but .... according to this there was no child Pietertje so just Aechtje , Aeltje and lambert archiver rootsweb a thread about the family It seams quite reasonable + has some good sources . Claes was married to a wife named Annetje and they even went back to Holland after the marriage in New Netherland, his wife died in 1724 , so it seems very unlikely he would have been married to a different woman at the same time, so it looks like Pietertje is the child that was invented by someone , but that didn't excist Timmerman-225 19:19, 8 December 2015 (EST)

Removed Pietertje Cool as his wife , she most likely didn't excist .
posted by Bea (Timmerman) Wijma
Van purmerent-1 and Van Pumerent-1 appear to represent the same person because:

Hi , These are the same and can be merged, no conflicts Thanks ! :) LNAB is patronymic Janszen , Jansz Jans or Jansen He later used last name Kuyper (see note and source duplicate ) (will look for a source for him to make clear what his patronymic was.

Ok little too quick and enthusiastic here , duplicates , so will propose merges for them and remove Pietertje as his wife , she seems to be non excistent (bogus)
posted by Bea (Timmerman) Wijma
Kuyper-5 and Van Pumerent-1 appear to represent the same person because: This is the oldest paternal ancestor in this chain in need of a merge. No tree conflicts. We should keep the aka aka Cuyper, Kuyper, van Purmerendt, and marriage married November 11, 1656 in New York, USA. Thanks!
