Research Notes

LNAB is Van Aken. Pieter was recorded as Van Aaken for the baptism of most of his children, but his father Marinus was recorded as Van Aken for the baptisms of Pieter and his siblings, so Van Aken is his last name at birth.

Van Auken-30 and Van Aken-21 appear to represent the same person because: Same person. Van Aken is the selected LNAB for his father, Marinus. There are no longer any conflicts between the parents' profiles, so this merge can proceed.

I very much think the name should be Van Aken. Marinus used Van Aken, and Van Aken is how the family is continued to be known to this day.
