2) WITHIN THE MARE LINE: THERE MAY OR MAY NOT BE TWO CATHERINA (MARE) VAN VUURENs
Problem:
a) If there are 2: The elder Catherina Mare has either a name-sake niece or half-sister, Catherina Mare ii (1718), who then - to make the 'rompslomp' worse also became her daughter-in-law (with the effect that they both become Catherina Van Vuuren on marriage.)
b) If there are not 2, then who does Gerrit Van Vuuren ii (1716) marry in 1738?
Summary of Discussion (Please Add):
a)
b) So far the only source on Geni for Gerrit marrying Catherina is Ancestry, with no good validation for it: I've started a Discussion asking Judith Susanna Hendrika 5 Marais b2c1d6e5f2g7h7i12j2 if she has sources.
Alexander points out that “ The SAG has a number of mistakes in the Van Vuuren register.
From what I can see it appears that Daniel and Andries Van Vuuren [both married Viljoens] are incorrectly placed as the children of Johannes Van Vuuren & Catherine Maree when they belong under Johannes Van Vuuren & Johanna Oelofse.
Gerrit Van Vuuren is placed as the younger brother of Daniel and Andries with the SAG having Gerrit Van Vuuren as the husband of Catherine Maree.
It is also a good idea to confirm Gerrit Van Vuuren's parentage as it is quite possible that Johannes Van Vuuren son of Gerrit Jansz may have been documented as Gerrit Van Vuuren, when in actual fact they are the same individual with the possible full name of Johannes Gerritsz Van Vuuren [x Chaterine Maree]. Just a thought.”
Decision:
