Research notes

Willem B. Horst and Neeltje A. Meijers are the claimed parents for Gerritje, but both are born in the 1650, so that relationship is impossible. With her patronymic Willemsd, it is likely that Gerritje is daughter of a different Willem Horst. Despite her impossible late death date, Gerritje appears to be in the correct 1620s birth generation, based on her claimed descendants. More information is needed to determine where the error lies. note: the error lies in the wrong year of birth and she's attached to the wrong husband now..according this online genealogy she was married to Pieter Jansz Bok...

It looks like to solve the problem, the correct baptism date (see Bio) should be added and she could be re-attached to the parents she was attached to before (Willem Horst and Neeltje Meijers) and removed as wife from Focke Jansz, he was not married to a Geertje or Gerritje Willems and there already is a profile for his correct wife Grietje Hendricks.

So if we could correct things like this, there's no need to merge this profile away and the duplicate Focke Jansz profiles can be merged also.. (Vooks, the 'last name' of the now still attached daughter, she to correct things, should of course also be connected to the correct mother) probably was just a strange interpret version of the patronymic Fockes ?)

Names her Grietje Hendricks

Listed children Willemtje Fockens; Gesje Fockens; Gerrit Fockensz; Grietje Focken; Hendrick Focken; Jan Heromans (Focken); Egbert Fockenszen and Catharina Fockens

No known son "Willem" so perhaps circumstantial evidence of Grietje's father being Hendrick rather than Wellem.

I sourced her supposed parents, and found that she is simply an identity mistake, conflated with a daughter they had of the same name, but a couple generations later than this girl, and married to a completely different man.

That couple has nothing to do with New Netherland, or this girl. So I am simply going to detach them from here. Profiles are linked in the bio note.

With this 1620 birth date, Gertje is certainly not the daughter of these parents, born in the 1650s. And her death at age 128 is also bogus, as is her stated 1704 marriage date.

But I still have her currently tagged and project protected as a Settler, and she appears to be fine as mother of Willemtje Vooks.

But please work on providing some accurate date and location information for Gertje.
