DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Maritie by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Maritie:
She cannot be the daughter of Jan Pieterse Meet as her mother Gerritie married Jan's father Pieter Jansz Meet per your bio on her profile page. Or she is not Maritie's mother.
New Jersey, Find A Grave Index, 1664-2012 lists birth as 1687, death 1720
