That was quick!
Many thanks.
I would not want to interfere in someone else's tree unless they were friends or immediate relatives that I knew personally and/or I had their permission. I think there are quite a few small clean ups needed and I must post a great-great grandmother who seems to have had three or four children over a more than 20 year period after she is reported as dying. Will 'dig her up' and post her.

@Rebecca Mordechai Vieijra
This is my third great grandmother and she must have been a remarkable woman. She is shown as having been born in 1808 and dying in 1833 at the age of 24 after giving birth to four children.
However, she clearly did not take reports of her death too seriously as she then went on after her death to have another nine children between 1836 and 1851.
Maybe she was the inspiration for Mark Twain's comment (often misquoted) some years later, "The report of my death was an exaggeration".
I have searched through a series of Dutch registry websites and can certainly match the latter nine children to her and her husband. What I have not been able to find is any actual record of her death, in 1833 or after 1851. I wondered whether my third great-grandfather might have remarried someone with the same name but there is no other marriage record.
I'd be grateful for any thoughts and even more grateful for any facts.
Thanks
Bernard
Did you try https://www.wiewaswie.nl/en/?
I do see her marriage there and some data on the children.
I did not see her death but there are many records for Rebecca Vieijra in Amsterdam, I only looked at a few.
Records for Amsterdam are also available via https://archief.amsterdam/
Thanks Job,
I had checked on Wie Was Wie and the traditional sephardic marriages lists but not the GAS. I have just registered and am waiting for confirmation and password - ah, they have just come. I'll see what I can find out and post anything that helps.
By the way, geni shows you as my second cousin twice removed's wife's first cousin once removed's wife's nephew's wife's nephew. So thank you, 'cousin'.
All the best
Bernard
I added the link for Amsterdam to https://www.geni.com/projects/Nederlandse-Bronnen-Dutch-Sources/8618
The Amsterdam archive sites is one of the best I know, it's often very useful to me.
Bernard Miller, I often meddle in branches which are not related to me, as this is the idea of Geni. It's also so important when Holocaust victims are concerned, as I feel creating and adjusting their profiles lets their memory live on.
Anyway, if you need any help for Rebecca, please revert back here.
Thanks for the information and thanks to whoever corrected her death to 'after 1851'. That is a sensible compromise until some other record turns up.
I spent a couple of hours on the GAS last night and on the Noord-Hollands Archief but got no further than the copy of her wedding certificate and the digital entry which give her date of birth (which I had found nearly two years ago). And I searched under the names Rebecca Vieijra and Rebecca Park, with and without wildcards ( a really useful feature although in this case it only brought up the same results).
I also found that her second cousin, also called Rebecca Mordechai Vieijra, born in 1827 in Amsterdam, does not appear to have died either - maybe it's a feture of the name and the genes. I checked all the records available for appropriate time periods, just in case there was a reference. It's not a big issue for me but I do feel that I owe it to her not to have something so blatantly wrong showing. if it can be easily corrected so thanks again.

Thank you
Livio Scremin, I think I've finally caught them all. There were also a bunch in Shah Mahmud (Shah Ould) r. 1410-1411 of the Muzaffarids [Aq Quyunlu]- allies himself with the Jalayerids of Baghdad tree.
