Regarding death date as 31 July 1688 (53) - Richard Ball notes this:
I have assumed that he died around 1688, before his wife remarried, but there is an entry On 26th October 1708, in a letter to the person in charge at Robben Island, 'the convict Kees de Boer', is mentioned. (Leibbrandt, Letters Dispatched, 1695-1708, page 394). http://www.ballfamilyrecords.co.uk/robberts/I022.html
It is highly unlikely that the individual named as Kees de Boer in 1708 in the Letters Despatched is the same individual as Cornelis Claesz:. When Cathaina married Voormeester in 1688 it is very clearly stipulated that she was the widow of the deceased Claasze. While there are occasional errors in the church records, they are mostly minor. An error such as this is highly unlikely. See the transacription.
(Mar): Ao 1688
ultimo July (den 25 Julij is crossed out)
Andries Voormeester van Guedelborg vrijborger aen Stellenbos jongman met Catarina van de Cust Coromandel Wed. wijle den overleden vrijborger Cornelis Claasze
Not the first first or last assumed identities for different individuals especially in Stamouers I have noticed .
More information as presented here by Delia shows us that we must be so carefull assuming 2 or 3 different individuals with similar nanes were the same.
Using ny own family : 3 cousins exaxt same names born 1956 ,1957 ,1958 or 4 same 1929 , 1930 ,1930 and 1932 or 5 same 1860 to 1870
Yes Phillipp, Cornelis Claesz: was also known as Kees de Boer. It is stated as such in his daughter Catharina's baptism, viz:
Ao:' 1684
eodem dito (5 November) Catharina
[Kees] de Bo[e]r en Catharina
Marytie van Juffr. Beroo
And in the marriage record of his step-daughter Adriaentje Gabrielsz:
ao' 1683. eodem dito [den 4. Julij]. Pieter Gerrits zoo, Jonghman, vryburgh en Aedriantie stiefdogter van Kees de boer [ at the time Cornelis Claasz/Kees de Boer was married to Catharina van Malabar, confirmation she is the woman who baptised Adriaantje in 1667]
Why have you still got Isabella from Angola as mother of Adriaentje Gabrielsz:? I am sure this has been discussed before? Please look at her profile page on FFY (btw NOT FFYP) here: http://e-family.co.za/ffy/g7/p7069.htm And where the evidence in the record that she is daughter to Catharina v Malabar is very clearly laid out and further down the page where the DNA evidence is discussed.
Removing Adriaantjie van der Kaap Catharina Van de Kaap and Armozyn Claasz Leij, SM as children of Cornelis "Kees de Boer" Claesz, SV/PROG 1
Delia Robertson you were seeing a merge of the children removed above. Thanks for spotting. I've locked the relationships on this profile now.
Adriaantje Gabrielsz, SM/Prog is still there as a child of Catharina (Catrijn) van Malabar, SM/PROG
At this stage I am really building a new line in my family and after the new profiles added I must still ad the sources, DVN, etc.
If I have to leave now to look for old sources I will be totally lost or someone might add/remove/merge incorrect profiles and the whole operation of building onto the tree I am working on will be in havoc again. So please excuse me from this for now.
If you look at the profile and all the information, etc there, I can only see the one name. But that was hours ago when I started my adding etc. for today.
SO asseblief, not to misunderstand me again " Kan ek asseblief eers op die nuwe informasie voortgaan en as ek nog tyd het vandag sal ek die bronne en vrae van hierdie beantwoord na die beste vanmy vermoë."
I am sure bothe Phillipp ( totally an Afrikaans speaking person) and Delia will be able to translate this is needed.
