Linda Magdalena Engelbrecht sent the following information:

An interesting aspect of this couple is medical: medical research conducted by a British Docter Geoffrey Dean, has shown that they are the original bearers of a genetic disorder leading to the disease called Porphyria (see Dean, 1963, The Porphyrias) Of their 8 children, 4 of them suffered from the disease. 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.
