Research notes

  • A source is needed for the death date and place - Different versions of the profile that were merged had slightly different information.
    • Will was written 24 Apr 1781, and inventory of estate made 21 Apr 1784, so he died somewhere in that range.
  • Daughter Madelente Amerman (1760-) not named in his will. Also, Alida would have been ~50 years old at the time of her birth which is quite old to be having children. Further research is needed to determine who she was.

PPP in place but children need their mother attached to their profiles.

Amerman-53 and Ammerman-140 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth date and place, different versions of the same name. Paulus was the name on the baptism record, and his father's name was Ammerman (although his uncle's, a witness, name was spelled Amerman).

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Reyniersen-4 And Van Hengelen-1 https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Van_Hengelen-1 Appear to be same person. This may explain Generation or Husband Error I was trying to fix when I was removed due to editing. There appears to be same info. With different Husband Ammerman name. Possible same family with error. SB
