Family
The mark describes the person, not the link. Of the 21 relatives drawn here, 0 have a document of their own in this archive — but that is not the same as a document tying them to this person. This archive holds no separate proof for most parent–child links; where it does, the note above this chart says so in words.
Two children here carry one name — Anna Sophia van Biljon. In these parishes that is usually not an error: a child who died was very often replaced by a later child given the same name, and nine such deaths are implied across these four families by a name used twice. It is also exactly how a records-matcher makes one person out of two, which is why they are kept apart here and the reader is told.
Where this comes from
Tree only
everything here comes from the family tree, and is unverified.
Where this sits in the family
Not on the direct line. They are published because they belong to one of the eight surnames this archive follows.
The register spells this surname more than one way, and the search folds the forms together — so Xubrinich and Žubrinić, Joannis and Ivan, find each other.

An online family tree is a witness, not a source. Where a citation points at a parish register or a FamilySearch image, that is the thing worth going to. Sources →
Others of the same name
These parishes repeat their names relentlessly — 94 Marijas and 88 Ivans in this archive alone. These are different people, kept apart on purpose rather than merged into one. Merging on a name is exactly how this tree came to hold a man born after his own granddaughter.
