Biography

MERGE NOTE

During the merge of duplicates Colyn-66 into Colijn-20 there were conflicting parents. I replaced Johannes Colyn (Colijn-18) with Bastiaen Colyn (Colyn-29) [father putative] and Elsje Colyn (Van Hoff-6) with Maria Everts (Everts-273) as can be read on the baptism of Evert Colyn 13 Oct 1700. ^[1]
