It is quite impossible for this person to have been the daughter of her connected parents: Both parents died decades before she was born, and even if that was not so, her mother would have been over 90 years old when she was born.

Herman,

I agree. It looks like the merge messed up the profile. I am only Geni Basic, so cannot remove the merge. If someone who can do it, do it, it will be much appreciated.

Maryna Naudé, b1c8d3e7f5g5h1i2 I have the powers to do what is necessary, but I would like to consult with others so that I can be certain before I leap into it and start lopping off branches. So if you know who fits where, please let me know.

Herman,

Here is the proof: Baptism of daughter Anna Catharina 20/11/1846: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSVZ-J97V-G?cc=147...

I checked as many docs as possible. I added the links in the overview tab of Albertus Johannes Venter.

Thanks for your help. Alway appreciated.

Anna Catharina Snyman is your 20th cousin thrice removed.

Maryna Naudé, b1c8d3e7f5g5h1i2 it appears as if this profile belongs to another person and that she has been erroneously attached to this family. My reasons for this are:

  1. Anna Catharina Snyman was born in 1916 and her husband Lourens Marthinus Snyman and all her children's (estimated and quoted) birthdates are plausibly within her lifetime expectations;
  2. It is physically and biologically impossible that Anna Catharina Snyman (Venter) (1916-1990) could have been born from a father (Albertus Johannes Venter) and mother (Susanna Maria Jacomina Venter / Botha) born in 1821 and 1825 respectively;
  3. All her ascribed "siblings" were born within a plausible time period (where specific dates exist) while her ascribed "parents" were still of reproductive age between 1846 and 1864, the latest more than 50 years before her own birth date. This discrepancy is untenable;
  4. Among her "siblings" is a sister of the same forenames, Anna Catharina de Bruyn and it it my guess that this is where the confusion originated.

Based on the above, I am now severing the link between Anna Catharina Snyman and parents Albertus Johannes Venter and Susanna Maria Jacomina Venter / Botha because I am quite certain that Anna does not belong in this family.

Herman,

Thanks. I agree wholeheartedly with you!
