DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Leonora 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 Leonora:
8 Januarie 1778 is the deathdate of the so called father Zacharias Arend Eloff Only 3 childern mentioned on his inventaroy Charl Johannes (1775) / Anna Sophia (1776). / Zacharias Arend born 3 months after his fathers death The widow xx 13 Mei 1781 with Jonathan Fourie of Stellenbosch
Refer Baptism Cape Town on 23 May 1773 of Dorothea Leonora, Helena, Johanna and Daniel (all illegitimate) Father Olof van Geldersheim, Mother Catharina van de Caap. These could be the illegitimate children of Zacharias Arend Eloff (b 1747 in Werscherode, Gandersheim, Bavaria marr Martha du Plessis), by Catharina van de Caap . The father possibly tried to 'fudge' the record by noting his name as Olof van Geldersheim, or maybe he said Eloff van Gandersheim and it was noted incorrectly.
