I created a new Sara as a wife of Jan and mother of his children, I merged this with the existing Sara who was still connected to William.
Rather than disconnecting Sara from her bogus parents, which would have lost her connection to her sisters, I Deleted the bogus mother and then the bogus father leaving the sibling relationship intact. All three sisters have a Relationship Lock on them which should prevent any parents being added.
Thanks for the heads-up Private User
Thank you, Alex!
For the sake of accuracy, these three women are **probable** sisters according to Hoffman, who was one of the top experts in the field. European records have not been found to prove this, as far as I know. But for Geni's purposes, this is a great improvement.
For the sake of genealogists who read this, Pieters(en) was a very, very common patronymic, much like Jansen (son of Jan or John). Sara has a marriage record that says she had a sister named Lysbeth, and the Lysbeth Pieters in New Amsterdam looks like she **could** be the same woman, but it's not certain. As for Marritje, her husband was Sara Pieters' partner, and Marritje's children were assigned Sara's husband as legal guardian.
There is also a theory according to which Lysbeth was the daughter of Pieter Minuit, which I encountered early in my research. However, I don't believe that anymore. Her husband and the associate of Minuit look like two different men that have been conflated in the past.
