DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Maria by comparing test results with other carriers of her ancestors' 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 Maria:
Father's DN gives Maria Petronella Paulina, mother\s DN gives Maria Johanna Paulina, in both cases as eldest child.
Which name is correct? The mother's death is earlier than that of the father, but that is not the a very strong reason to prefer "Johanna".
The mother's own name is Maria Johanna Paulina, but the eldest daughter would be named after the maternal grandmother. The maternal grandparents (see mother's DN) are Paulus Jordaan and Maria Johanna Joubert.
We must conclude that "Petronella" is an aberration on the part of the third wife, who would not have known.
Since a merge normally retains the lower-numbered profile, "Petronella" will have to be corrected to "Johanna" during the merge.
