This profile for a partner of Christijn Pietersz who was the shared biological father of many of her children is most likely not accurate.

Only three of Christijn Pietersz's children appear to have used surnames that indicate who their biological father was:

• Anna van der Heijde
• Johannes Morgh
• Andries Morgh

There is at present little or no evidence to indicate the biological father of Christijn's remaining seven children. Five of these children:

• Lijsbeth b.1692
• Pieter b.1692
• Willem b.1694
• Susanna b.1699
• Pieter b.1714

were described as "halfslag" on their baptism records (lit. "half-blood" - a term used to describe slave children at the Cape who had a European father). Some of these children may have shared the same European father, but the time-span makes it possible/likely that different men were involved.

Two of Christijn's children:

• Arnoldus Koevoet b.1697
• Hendrik b.1701

were described as "heelslag" (lit full-blood" - a term used to describe slave children at the Cape who had no European ancestry). So these two sons most likely had a different father, possibly not even the same man. It is important to consider however that if this term was used by Colonial authorities without consulting the mother, or if the mother did not know who the biological father was, it may not always have been used accurately.
