Who can read these VOC records for Andreas Christoffen Lind?

Question

In 1767, Andreas Christoffen Lind left from Enkhuizen in Holland on the ship Duivenbrug, and was left off sick at the Cape of Good Hope hospital, and continued working there, with records continuing over an unusually large number of 5 Folios in the VOC administration (from Nationaal Archief, den Haag).

Who can read this handwriting?  It seems that Andreas payed amounts for certain unclear services, that were possibly sent to Holland. Or was he trading things?  For anybody with the ability to read this 18th century handwriting, this should be a little goldmine of interesting facts, about Andreas, or about practices at the Cape, or the VOC.

Answer 1

Not an answer to your question, but Andreas was born in Visby 28 February 1742. He was the son of Christopher Lind and his wife Elisabeth Lindberg and his given name was Andreas. So Christoffel was not a given name, but a patronymic (Christophersson).

That is wonderful!  I had the parents listed, privately, but had forgotten where I had found them. I'm getting the image, and adding his parents .. but could you please transcribe, and then also translate his baptism record?  I can only recognize the date, the names.

I don't think they have profiles. Will try to make them.

I will give you management rights for Andreas .. just in case. You've already contributed his baptism, and birth name.
