Elsje Jans, the wife of Conradus van der Beek https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Schaers-3 should have the LNAB of Jans.

A NYGBR article from 1933 placed her as the daughter of Johannes Schaers https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Schaers-4 and Marritje Bennet https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bennet-100 but the dates don't add up for that to be true, as Marritje and Johannes were married in 1664 and Elsje baptized a child in 1679.

There is also a possibility that she is the daughter of Jan Pieterszen van Huysen https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pieterszen-5 because he and his wife Grietje baptized a daughter Elsje in 1653, but this Elsje didn't name a child Grietje and they didn't appear at the baptisms of Elsje's children. So it's possible but there's a lack of even circumstantial evidence.

So also we know about Elsje Jans, the wife of Conradus van der Beeck, is that she was recorded with the patronymic of Jans at her childrens' baptisms. There is no hint of her origins.

Are there any issues or concerns? If not, I'll change her LNAB to Jans in 30 days.
