Hi,

The Dutch part of the family is corrected now, they all have the info and children and wifes as is known and according all info .

So now we can look for some records :)

O I already see what's wrong, there is just one but she is attached to a lot of wrong profiles as mother or wife, so I'll add a profile for the wife Swaentien ...

So far this part of the lineage now is correct and according the Dutch genealogies ..moving down now... ;)

: Coert Alberts geb. ca __-__-1620, Ruinen [Hees], married ca __-__-1640, Swaetien Willems, geb. ca __-__-1620. (or Swaentien)

So Coert Alberts did not marry a Margien Hendrickje , maybe Albert did ? But we now have two profiles for this wife, so maybe we could repurpose this one and change the name to Swaentien Willems, which is the correct one according a Dutch source (research for this family ) ?

Hendrickje seems to be a wrong patronymic as well..it is written just like a first name . Mergin probably would or should be the more Drents name Margien ?

When I look at my desktop database, it essentially agrees with this mess of a family. In other words, Mergin born abt 1541, married Coert 1599, and died 1571. My data was pulled from the Ancestral file, and the WFT submissions from the 1990s. So clearly all propagators all have pulled from the same bogus source. We need to discover what that source is.

One thing that seems clear is that Mergin is not the wife of Albert van Voorhees, who is her father-in-law. So that should be disconnected.

Mergin is also attached as mother of some of Albert's children, and that is also bogus.

But in general, the names all seem to be the same. There are some extra people here, though, who have been created with different dates.

Mergin was probably a much younger woman, as mother of Steven and the 1600s generation of children. Or else she was a grandmother, perhaps mother of a Coert Coertse father of those chidlren.

So I think this whole lineage before 1600 needs to be redone from primary sources only. But it can remain as attached to current family members until we figure it out. Unfortunately there are likely to be more matches that come in which will be pulled from the same nonsensical secondary sources, so the best we can do for now is to merge them down.

Van Voorhees-46 and Hendrickje-1 appear to represent the same person because: There seems to be agreement that this woman was the wife of Coert, from her same generation 1530s-1540s. She seems to be a safe merge. But her children are an absolute mess, which will have to be rebuilt from the oldest ancestors up. Thanks!

Hendrikje-1 and Hendrickje-1 appear to represent the same person because: I have no information to help determine which spelling of the last name is correct or preferred
