Whatever the case, please flesh out the profile text with the relevant information and the evidence for it. (For example, say "Maritie was baptized on [Date] in [Place], identified as the daughter of [father] and [mother]..." and provide a footnoted citation to the source for the baptism.) I do not want to connect PPP profiles to family members unless I can see the evidence for the relationship in the body of the profile.
I owe you an apology for my typing error when I entered the ID in the URL box. I got Hendrickse-35 instead of Hendrickse-34.
Thank you for adding documentation of her baptism. I have connected her parents. :-)
I did revise the text wording about her baptism. With these churches in the New Netherland area, we cannot assume that the church record describes an event that occurred at the physical location of the church. The churches often had jurisdiction over a fairly large region, so domines visited some families at their scattered rural homes to baptize the children who had arrived after the last visit. Also, the formalism in the church records is that they name the parents, the given name of the child, and the witnesses/sponsors; only occasionally is there a clear indication of who was physically present for the baptism.
Also, I started a Church Records section of the profile. It can be very helpful to see all of these records for a person, including details like the spellings of various names and the names of those baptism witnesses/sponsors. Particularly when there is ambiguity or confusion about identities of individuals (it is common to have several cousins of approximately the same age who all had the same first name and family surname), the names of baptism witnesses and the sequence of the names of the children are valuable genealogical evidence.
