Biography
Suffix
Name
- Willem will be profile protected with the LNAB being Willems though this isn't strictly correct given the time frame - patronymically he would have been noted as Schalksz, not as Willems (van der Merwe not even being mentioned), however following WikITree policy we have to note exactly the LNAB as can be read on the baptism.
