Biography

Eli Brachonge (Braconie) and Aeltje Brachonge (Braconie) are one and the same

No sources were found that show or prove any parents of Aeltje Braconie, the parents that were attached to Aeltje all had the same or similar names and only the dates were different. It was assumed that the Eli Braconie mentioned as a witness in this Baptism (of Aeltje's grandson!) Christiaen, was Aeltje's father.
But several baptism records (transcripts), make it much more likely it was daughter Aeltje who apparently also was named Eli Braconie, and was present being the grandmother of these children. (In the Netherlands, Ali still is a very common nickname for women named Aeltje.)

• Baptism Sunday 6 January 1641 Dutch Reformed Church New Netherland
  Child; Christiaen, Father: Willem Adriaensz
  Witn.: Michiel ter Oijcken (Remark; Witness 1 is fiscal), Eli Braconie ^[1][2]

So Aeltje's parents still are unknown, and all duplicate assumed parents of Aeltje Braconie including several duplicate profiles for a supposed mother, are merged into this profile. It is very unlikely Aeltje (also known as Eli) would have parents that both were named Aeltje Brackunell / Eli Brachonge (and other variations of the name Braconie), and no prove or any records were found for them. So now we are trying to make things more accurate.

Johan van Berkenrode and Emmerentia Bisschops more recently were added as supposed parents, of this Eli Brachonge, they according all sources and info, only had one daughter named Erkenrade van Berkenrode, no daughter or son named Aeltje/Eli, and they clearly were not parents of a son or daughter named Eli Brachonge (Braconie, etc.) so thesesupposed parents were disconnected.

Who was Eli Brachonge

Conclusion: There is no distinct person named "Eli"; it is simply a short-form variant of "Aeltje". However, some doubt remains as "Eli" or "Elie" is a French first name, meaning "Elias" and was a common given name among early French-speaking Protestants, who, like the contemporary Puritans, favored Biblical names.

The earliest record of Aeltje in New Netherland is a baptism record from 6 January 1641 in which "Eli Braconie" is identified as a witness to the baptism of Christiaen, son of Willem Adriaensz.^[2][1] Another baptism record, of Marÿe daughter of Willem Adriaensz in 1644, lists an "Eli Braconnie" as a sponsor. ^[1] Totten mistakenly assumed that Eli was a male, perhaps a brother or even a father of Aeltjie. ^[3] Ledley thought that "Eli" was a "maternal relative".^[4] The result is that many current websites mistakenly identify Eli as Aeltjie's father.^[5]

Macy points out that, at each of the baptisms, Eli's was the second listed witness with the first one being a male, making it very likely that the second-listed Eli was a female. Aeltje was the grandmother of both children, so it is reasonable to assume that she was the witness called "Eli." This is particularly true if the name was sometimes spelled "Ali" and spelled by Dutch-speaking clerks.^[6]

Modern Dutch informants indicate that Ali is a very common nickname for women named Aeltje;^[7] "Eli" or "Ali" would have been a likely phonetic spelling.
