Daar is 'n match vir Maria se vader (Jan Corneliusz Kiekers) op hierdie skakel: https://www.geni.com/merge/compare/4705796237050024653?return=match...
Bestuurders word versoek om daarna te kyk en te besluit of dit eg is. Ek is self versigtig om die merge te doen, weens die ouderdom van die profiel: As geeneen tot dusver hierdie vader aan haar profiel gekoppel het nie, kan dit miskien verkeerd wees.
Job Waterreus, mijn 18de neef en familielid van Maria, zou je enig bewijs kunnen vinden dat Jan Corneliusz Kiekers inderdaad Maria's vader was?
I'm sorry there seems to be not enough information to find additional sources.
I would have to know at least her religion, but there are so many churches in Amsterdam that would help only a little. It would help to know in which church she was probably baptized.
There are some sources that could be tried if there was some more information:

Sharon Doubell, that is exactly the reason why I did not merge but chose to ask around. On an MP, one should expect that such info would have been added a long time ago, if only it were true. But it's a good and timely warning to the (very, very) many managers!
Job Waterreus, hartelijk dank daarvoor. Ik ga nog dieper in op haar afkomst en ga op zoek naar bewijzen.
I seem to agree, Sharon Doubell. I notice that the user Private User only joined geni.com yesterday and may not realise what havoc she may cause. I sent her a message regarding the duplications and asked for her sources. I'll let you know if I hear anything of interest.
At the time, the only church active in this country was the Dutch Reformed tradition brought with the first Commander Johan van Riebeeck in 1652. Lutheran Germans and Scandinavians (mostly Danes) began to arrive shortly after, but most of those were assimilated into the Dutch church. Apart from that, there was the ancient traditional African ancestral spirit-based faith. Since Maria was born in the Netherlands, it may be assumed that her faith (if she had any) might have been Christian. Whether that was Roman Catholic or Protestant is pure guesswork.
All that info of Maria Father and Mother is Incorrect.
I have found her historic and where she came from (Some will be shocked and some will be glade the only thing I can tel you at this moment is she was born in Amsterdam)
As soon as I have set out a report and all documents associated With Her Birth and when and how she ended up in SA I will post a copy of it Here
Yes a sort of:http://www.e-family.co.za/ffy/g5/p5168.htm With thanks First Fifty Years project/Delia Roberson. The rest a bit of imagination. Good stuff to read while we wait for @Gideon Hendrik Botha for the results of his investigations.
