Geel-161 and Geel-66 appear to represent the same person because: Bronkhorst wouldn't have married two women within a month
posted by Ian McArthur
Coeld this be her child: Bronkhorst-165
Warning: Check the data.

A birth date (Geel-66 born 20 Apr 1783) should not be within eight months of a sibling's birth date (Geel-67 born 16 Sep 1783) unless they are twins born within a day of each other.
