Wessels-591 and Wessels-11 appear to represent the same person because: Believe these are same woman. The ancestry tree referenced on -591 is impossible to access now. I did a lot of updates to 591 which do belong to -11. I read the will of Jacobus Kip and made notes left on 591. The names in his will match those in -11.
