Baptism 1793

Willemina van Mauritius

VERY unlikely her father would be Gerrit Theunisz whom her mother only lived with from 1686 in the CAPE .
More likely also daughter of Hans Beer
Perhaps unknown Karelse her father.
I agree here with you Phillipp! _WB

Page 13: By this time [1679] his [Amsoeboe's] daughter Iba is presumably already mother to two illegitimate halfslag [mixed-race] daughters (later baptized at the Cape as Willemina [sic] and Catharina van Mauritius becoming known as Hermina Carels: and Catharina [de] Beer / Bero, respectively).

GEDCOM Note

Bio notes: Pieter Christiaan de Jager married Hermina Carelse on the 19th February 1696. He was about 17 years her senior. Hermina is recorded under a number of different names (Hermina, Ermina, Willemina, Tremena). Spelling of names is also not consistent and surnames changed at times to indicate the individual’s birth place or sometimes the father’s surname. Hermina is also called Willemina van Mauritius indicating her place of birth. Hermina was the daughter of Iba van Timor, and I suspect, an unknown VOC employee in Mauritius with the surname ‘Carelse’, hence her taking on the name ‘Hermina Carelse’. Her mother, Iba was the daughter in a Timorese family that was exiled from Timor and sent to Mauritius from Jakarta in 1676. Family consisted of Amsubu [also known as Amsoeboe], his wife Inabe, and their two daughters Iba and Baauw. Hermina was born in 1677 in Mauritius to daughter Iba and later baptised in the Cape of Good Hope on the 8th February 1693. The family was accused of inciting a mutiny and sent from Mauritius to the Cape, South Africa in 1679. Iba was to become the stammoeder (progenitor) of the De Jagers and sister Baauw the stammoeder of the van Wyk line. (Robertson) The story of the Timorese family is found in the book ”Pai Timor” by Mansell Upham.

Mauritius -"Ilha do Cisne" ("Island of the Swan")

In 1598, a Dutch squadron under Admiral Wybrand Van Warwyck landed at Grand Port and named the island "Mauritius" after Prince Maurice of Nassau (Dutch: Maurits van Nassau) of the Dutch Republic. The Dutch inhabited the island in 1638, from which they exploited ebony trees and introduced sugar cane, domestic animals and deer. It was from here that Dutch navigator Abel Tasman set out to seek the Great Southern Land, mapping parts of Tasmania, New Zealand and New Guinea. The first Dutch settlement lasted 20 years. In 1639, the Dutch East India Company brought enslaved Malagasy to cut down ebony trees and to work in the new tobacco and sugar cane plantations.[36] Several attempts to establish a colony permanently were subsequently made, but the settlements never developed enough to produce dividends, causing the Dutch to abandon Mauritius in 1710.[35][37] A 1755 article in the English Leeds Intelligencer claims that the island was abandoned due to the large number of long tailed macaque monkeys "which destroyed everything in it," and that it was also known at the time as the Island of Monkeys.[38] Portuguese sailors had brought these monkeys to the island from their native habitat in Southeast Asia, prior to Dutch rule.
