Research notes

According to Anna Kruger (Boeyens), wife of a later descendant, Hendrika arrived in South Africa with her uncle who was a medical doctor. Apparently she lost a brother and sister on the journey to South Africa. His surname was Schummelketel and resided in Prince Albert in the Cape Colony.

Most probably he was dr. Willem Rein Schummelketel born 18 October 1821, and died in Kroonstad, Orange Free State and was married to Catharina Johanna Hoogwerff. Profile on WikiTree: Willem Rein Schummelketel (1821-)

Hendrika's name was spelled in some records Henriëtta or even Henrijetta. Sometimes Hendrika Henrietta Jacoba. Piet van Zyl, 10 April 2022.
