Pieter, thanks for the observations. We are are still in the collation stage of this project and in time we will get nearer to the truth ... we still need to source with primary sources many of the progenitors. At this moment they are being profile by profile brought under the custodial managership of the project protect (even if temporary) the LNAB and the parental connection, as well as to facilitate eventual further research and communication through this project. It is a collaborative effort to collectively source the research. You can help someone like me who has to tend to hundreds if not thousands of surnames and genealogical lines over countless generations, who may have no idea who Henry Shaw might be, to put his comments into context. If I think of a German version - "Bäcker" ... and there might be dozens of variations in the spelling because Low-Saxon was one of the common "Lingua Franca's" in those days, together with Westphalian and Eastphalian Low Saxon.

I am unconvinced by Henry Shaw's assertion that Johannes and Sibella are Pieter Becker's parents. In all the early instances of his name it is spelled Becker (a German rather than Dutch spelling) and there are no instances of either Johannes or Sibella amongst the names given to his children. Shaw does not cite his sources. I am unconvinced by this ascription.

I see no evidence connecting Johannes with Pieter Becker. The supposition that he was born in Koningsburg appears to be just that: a supposition. If we factor in the male names of Pieter's sons, it seems odd that none is called Johannes. So I remain skeptical of this ascription.

Bekker-364 and Becker-2194 appear to represent the same person because: Seems to be duplicates. Aka Bekker. I'll do the final integration of the bio after the merge.
