4. ↑ Martha will be profile protected with the LNAB being Willemse though this isn't strictly correct given the time frame - patronymically she would have been noted as Schalks[e][dr], not as Willemse (van der Merwe not even being mentioned), however at this time the naming system was already in transition to the more modern system and following WikITree policy we have to note exactly the LNAB as can be read on the baptism.
