Gesina VISSER was die dogter van Gerrit Jansz VISSER, gebore in Overijssel, Friesland,en sy vrou Jannetje Hendriks THIELEMANS, gebore aan die Kaap. ("Jansz" = "Janszoon": seun van Jan)

Gesina se grootouers aan vaderskant was Jan Coenraad VISSER, 'n soldaat en prediker, wat na die Kaap gekom het in 1657 van Friesland, waar hy gebore is, en sy vrou Margaretha GERRITS,gebore in Hardenberg, Nederland, c.1640.

Gesina XX 14 Oct 1714 Drakenstein, (Paarl) met Jan Harmenz STEENKAMP *C1682, ar 1714 vanaf Nieuwkerk, Belgie.  Jan Steenkamp is die stamvader van die Steenkamp families in Suid-Afrika.

The Four Gesinas:

Briefly: Jan Steenkamp (c 1680) marries Gesina "Gijsie" Visser (1686) & has a daughter, Gesina "Gijsie" Steenkamp (1718). His wife dies, & perhaps his daughter too. He remarries Johanna van Eck (c 1705) & has another daughter, Gesina "Geesje" Steenkamp (1723). For various reasons it seems more likely that it is this 1723 daughter who married Jan Nel & gave birth to Gesina Nel (1758), rather than her 1718 half sister. However, we can't be sure of this without more documentation.
