Of most interest to me was a thesis paper titled Huntington's Chorea in South Africa by Michal R. Hayden dated 1979. In this paper he indicates that Willem first arrived in the cape circa 1658, being made a free burgher in 1661. The paper also mentions a possible connection to a van de Merwe family originating in Rotterdam in the 17th century whose descendants are also affected by Huntington's Chorea. (available here from University of Cape Town). With this connection to Rotterdam in mind I went back to the period maps. A 1684 map of Rotterdam shows an area called "Broek", just east what was then Rotterdam 'proper'. In modern terms it is bounded roughly by the modern streets Crooswijkseweg, Boezemsingel, Boezemlaan, and by the Boezem. I think the birth suggested on the profile of 1648 is extremely unlikely - with the 1658 arrival date above that would mean Willem was taken on as an Arquebusier/Bosskieter at 10 years of age. I don't have any facts to support the following, but I would guess to command the higher pay of an Arquebusier took 4 or more years of training/experience and that this would not have started before age 16. (For comparison one study found the average age of arquebusiers in France a century later was about age 40). I would therefore suggest a birth of about 1638 (or earlier) - this would translate to a second marriage at age 30 (in 1668) and a last child born at age 60 (in 1698), both of which I feel are reasonable for the era. In summary, I would be focusing on looking at Rotterdam or Oud-Beijerland records from closer to 1638. [...] The Rotterdam locality I pointed out from the 1684 map should probably be "Voor Rubroek" (the label was broken up and 'Broek' was capitalized so it appeared to be a complete place name). There is also "De Berch en Broeck Polder" (around Hillegersberg) which has a "Broeck Mole" There is also "De Brouck Polder" just outside Vlaardingen. All of these are options for a "Broeck" birthplace for Willem. And while it has nothing to do with the question I find it interesting that this map also shows the "Leproos" just outside the city to the North West [...] I found a family tree on GeneaNet that I thought I would mention - it is not well sourced by any means, but it may contain some clues worth following up as it suggests names for a grand-father and great-grandfather for Willem as well as a wide variety of cousins and uncles. The person claimed as William's grandfather, Willem Huijgens van de Merwe, is listed as born at Dubbeldam circa 1590. I also found another place that is a candidate for the "Broek" where Willem was born - just outside Gouda. [see this Wikipedia article]. Lastly, I thought I would mention an interesting coincidence: I noticed that on one 1749 map, North-east of Oud-Byerland is a place called "Goodschalk Oord" (modern name is Goidschalxoord) - The name "Godschalck" is derived similarly to "Schalk" and I noticed in some early records the two being used interchageably."
