Profile category is "Needs Validation" & "Needs Transcription" - Which means the uploading of a baptism image (if possible), properly cited so that it will not cause copyright issues, and the full transcription [not only from FamilySearch itself] of the the baptism entry with LNAB (LastNameAtBaptism) to prove the spelling. The project profile (wikitrees-cogh-stamouer-progenitorATgooglegroups.com) has been added to the trusted list of this progenitor profile [Privacy Tab] and then also activated as active manager (though this progenitor profile still has to be validated with a [transcription of a] baptism [image]), and this profile Project Profile Protected). The bio has been integrated as best possible for the time being. Primary records will probably still be around in archives in Europe and in the NetherlandsThis note can be removed once a valid baptism record including transcription & attached documentation has been added to the profile

Stegen-15 Oliver Stegen PhD
His LNAB should be changed to Beyer which is the German spelling used at his baptism, cf. Bauer 1992, p. 87. Beyer is the LNAB of Johann David's father Georg Conrad and of his brothers Ernst August and Johann Heinrich. The spelling Beijer was used only after his emigration to South Africa where "ij" is the Dutch (and later Afrikaans) spelling of "y".
