The mark describes the person, not the link. Of the 10 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.

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.

The research shown that the disease was endemic in Deventer the place from which Gerrit Jansz came, so he is the one carrier. But the gene is recessive,so this means that Adiaenje Jacobs Jacobs was also a carrier......... There is more info in A South African Diary, Part A: Pre-1700, compiled by: Dr. Anthony Turton.
