According to Jim Schneider (see sources), Catrina's mother was not Geertruy, but Jochem's first wife Trijn Gerrits.

1621 is too early for the family to be in Albany. The birth location was somewhere else.

See page 6 of Ancestors and descendants of Samuel E. Bradt and Bertha Glidden Bradt, which only mentons one wife: Tryntje, which is a nickname for Catherine/Catrina. It appears that she died in 1701, about 7 years after Abraham.

The "Early New Netherlands Settlers" webpage has misquoted the article above in saying that Abraham married in 1684.

Following up on Steven's recommendation, I'm disconnecting Catrina as Elizabeth/Elsie's mother and will replace her with Tryntje who is the mother of his other children. Hopefully that will facilitate merging.

Catrina's supposed daughters currently attached here as Elsie and Elizabeth are in fact a match for Elizabeth, the daughter of Abraham's first wife. Catrina had no children, and was in her sixties when she married Abraham, as his second wife.

As noted on Abraham's profile, many genealogies name only one wife, perhaps because the will, made April 21, 1683, names Tryntie Joachims. Both wives Tryntje and Catrina, however had the same patronymic, being in both cases a daughter of a different Jochem.

So it seems clear to me that we need to detatch both daughters from this Catrina, and then set them for merge into the matching Elizabeth Staets-43.

Wessels-28 and Wessels-1 appear to represent the same person because: they were in an unmerged match & the New Netherland Settlers Approval System (http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:New_Netherland_Settlers_-_Approval_System) now has them marked "Green" (NNS Category) and "Orange" (Merge Pending), indicating that the two are ready to be merged. Thanks!
