Cordier-366 and Cordier-17 appear to represent the same person because: same birth date, same name, same spouse
The page with baptism from Jan 1736 to the 28th of May 1736 is missing from the Drakenstein Baptisms though the numbered pages follow sequently from pages 135 to 136. So her baptism must be looked for elsewhere.

Cokkie-1 and Cordier-82 do not represent the same person because: definitely 2 different wife's.

This Martha Maria Cordier might not be Stammoeder (unless her mother perished before the voyage to the Cape). See: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Cordier-82. Please merge!
