Private User says FTDNA are so keen to move this forward, that they are offering free MtDNA tests to anyone directly descended from Hendrina Smit/Smith...I'm also still trying to find her parentage, & wondering if anyone has directly (female line) descended from Margaretha Steenkamp 1715-60, & married to Floris Smit/Smith had a mitochondrial test done..This could confirm or exclude that line of ancestry...

She has the most unique mitochondrial DNA lineage ever found in a living person.

Please see article: https://blog.familytreedna.com/ancient-human-lineage-rediscovered/?...
"For example, one single L7 sequence (L7a*) that traces roots to South Africa is 80,000 years apart from all other L7s discovered! That is the most unique mitochondrial DNA lineage ever found in a living person."

Adele Jeanetta Main on this line you are descendended from Hendrina at least twice. Once on the complete mother to mother mtDNA line - I'm sure FTDNA would be excited to test you for free.

Hendrina Smit is your 6th great grandmother.
You

 → Hendrina Johanna Vermeulen your mother

→ Daniel Cornelius Vermeulen, SWASV f5g2 her father
→ Christina Gertruida Maria Louisa Coetzee his mother
→ Maria Margaretha Visser Vermeulen, b3c4d1e5f2 her mother
→ Catharina Elizabeth Nel, b8c1d3e2f1 her mother
→ Hendrina Johanna Steenkamp, b11c4d1 her mother
→ Johan Harmse Steenkamp her father
→ Hendrina Smit his mother

I suppose only female descendants? and not one "soiled" :- (by males)!

I don't really know, Daan. atDNA might be part of it too. What I do know is that there seems to be a Namibian connection here, and you're the best person for that part of our tree.

Sharon, while we are busy with the Steenkamps please lock these two (Same name different parents) 1st and 2nd husbands of Catharina Gertruida Petronella Steenkamp
I'm afraid someone may merge them.

Somewhere in that Steenkamp/Labuschagne line I saw an atDNA match. Can't find it now butit's probably linked to Labuschagne not Steenkamp.

Willem (C Zoon) Steenkamp's first wife also a Steenkamp descendant. I've just added her father's death notice and some siblings. I'll continue to work on this later today or tomorrow.
