Martin Andreas Karl (Dries) Potgieter Your wife seems to be a direct matrilineal descendant of Lijsbeth Arabus. So yes, it would be very helpful, although not necessarily for Catharina v Paliacatta. Thus far, apart from early generations, your direct matrilineal line is documented to Jannetje Bort.
Thanks Adri Joubert - I am looking for direct maternal line descendants - so from child to mother, to mother, to mother, to mother, and so on.
Regards
Delia
