DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Jan by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Jan:

Removed { {Unsourced | Germany} } template (there are ample sources on this profile), keeping the [ [Category:Cape_of_Good_Hope_Project_Needs_Validation] ] category which is sufficient. Removed the { {German Roots Sticker} } (which is meant for more modern profiles) and replaced it with the category [ [Category:German Emigration to Cape of Good Hope] ], which serves the same purpose in this project.

Greyling-332 and Greyling-127 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate. Greyling-127 already existed. I'll do the final integration of the bio after the merge, thanks!

Jan/ Johannes Bothma There were several at the time.

1] Jan Stevensz Botma de Oude b. circa 1651, d. before 5 May 1697He married Christina Stans on 22 February 1682 2]Jan Stevensz Botma de Jonge1 , b. 23 July 1670 He married Christina de Brùyn circa 1695 3] Johannes Botma b. 13 May 1703He married Anna Marija Kruijsman, in 1721 4]Johannes Arnoldùs Botma b. before 27 July 1727 None of them was married to Jacomina Pelser. I removed Pelser http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pelser-29 as wife Please note that the place of birth and date of birth on this profile is incorrect and are exactly the same as Jan "Johann" Greyling aka Grijling, Greijling Born about 1706 in Linz, Saxony, Germany Greyling is the correct husband of Jacomina Pelser daughter of Abraham Pelser .

This Jacomina Pelser Born before 20 August 1719 X Johann Greyling on 9 October 1735 and there child Abraham Carel Greyling = Jan 1757

The husband Johann Bothma does not make sense. Is this a Spelling mistake or the wrong husband?

Bothma-95 cannot have a birth date after the birth of his son.
