Research notes
[17 Sep 2026] [FS G68D-LVN] Wife of Willem VenterL (PER-002076), married Cape Town 7 April 1782 [FS]; mother of Jan Adriaan VenterL of Rondavel (PER-000350). De Villiers writes her 'Goertse' (OCR of Coertse).
[17 Sep 2026] HER PARENTS, FROM MOOC8/14.24a-b: the estate of ANNA CHRISTINA STRIEGEL, wife of the landbouwer ROELOF COERTSE, inventoried at the Orphan Chamber in April 1772 (with a list of 15 Sep 1771), names five minor children, among them 'CHRISTINA WILLEMINA COERTSE oud 6 jaren', which agrees with FamilySearch's birth year 1766. Her sisters and brother: Catharina Maria (14), Geertruijd (10), Anna Magdalena (4), Johannes Cornelis (3). The father signs Roelof Coertse. So she lost her mother at about five [the identification rests on name and age, TO VERIFY].
