Catharina van Paliacatta, SM/PROG - mtDNA L0a2a2a1 - Catharina van Paliacatta, SM/PROG

I have her as an ancestor as well, & in none of the several DNA companies I have tested with, does South Asian DNA show up..I do however have a small percentage of North Asian DNA..ie Mongolia & China, & a small percentage Asia Minor..Modern day Turkey region in my autosomal test from FTDNA.

It is highly improbable that her mother was Catrijn de Groote van Begale. For example, please see: http://www.e-family.co.za/ffy/g6/p6858.htm.

Suggest this putative mother is removed.

I think, as we have discussed this, it's time to remove her as mother.

Private User are you okay with that?

I am okay with that.

Delia, regarding the proposal that the mother is Elisabeth van Angola b. c 1650: I don't think this is likely as Elisabeth was a slave acquired in the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa, and brought to the Cape on board of the Amersfoort. The name "van Angola" is due to the location the Amersfoort raided a Portuguese slaver en route from West Africa to Brazil via Angola. The mtDNA is inconsistent with her origins in West Africa.

That's a good point.

Good day,
I notice there are discussions about Catharina Wagenmakers and
https://www.geni.com/people/Anthonij-van-Bengale-SV-PROG/3278889316...

Can we look at this baptism that took place 13 Dec 1682;
Willem Jansen and Petronella daughter in law of Antony van Bengale and Catharina Wagenwakers?

Did Antony and Catharina had a Son?
Who was Willem Jansen?

Den 13 December 1682
Petronella
Willem Jansen corporael: en Petronella schoondogter van Antony van Bengale
Catarina Wagenmakers

Marie Vermeulen-Boshoff I couldn't open that link, but this must just be a mistake of the wrong Catrijn, Petronella was the daughter of Catharina van Paliacatta and the adopted daughter of Anthonij. This is well established in the sources. That Petronella had a daughter Petronella who survived her briefly, then died probably of the same disease that wiped out the rest of the family.
