Dirck Evertszen was a resident of New Netherland. He was born in 1636.[1]
Dirck is recorded with two marriages, first to Fytie Reyerts around 1660, and second to Lysbeth Lubberts, by 1672. It is possible, however, that these are the marriages of two different men of the same name.[2]
Children with first wife Fytie Reyerts were:
Pat Wardell says these children appear to have assumed the surname "Van Ness."[2]
Children with second wife Lysbeth Lubberts were:[3]
Pat Wardell says these children had the surname Fluyt.[2]
He died before 9 January 1689, when Lysbeth Lubberts, the widow of Dirck Evertszen Fluyt, married Joris Borger in the New York Reformed Dutch Church.[2]

I connected Cornelia to this man as her father (and also to his first wife, Fytie). It is easy to understand how folks would assume that Cornelia Everts had a father named Evert, but I see that the consensus opinion is that she probably was this man's daughter, indicating that her name of "Everts" was essentially her father's patronymic name.
I see that Pat Wardell's notes gave Dirck's children the patronymic surname "Dircksen" or "Dircks," but our policy in WikiTree would be to use the name(s) each child was actually recorded by. At the moment, Wardell's notes are the main source for this profile, but we can do better by finding and citing the specific church records that she used, as well as by digging into published research that exists for some of the related families.
It looks like research (probably painstaking research) will be needed to elucidate the family associations. :-(
EDITED: The presence of "Jeronymus Berhyet" and Rebecca Everts as baptism sponsors for one of Cornelia's children lends good support to the notion that Rebecca and Cornelia were sisters. I presume that was part of the basis for Riker's conclusion that they were sisters.
