Challenge: where did this daughter go?

Question

Dirk Ton and wife Elizabeth Ganseman (and numerous other spellings) had a daughter that I have no information on other than her birth/baptism - did she marry and have children? did she emigrate? or did aliens just beam her out of the historical record entirely?

The individual I am specifically looking for information (other than birth/baptism) for is the person linked to the question:

1. Adriaantje born 1771 at Heerewaarden.

Any records (or at least solid leads) will be appreciated.

*Second Edit - this question was originally about two daughters, but in reviewing my notes I found I actually had the information for one of the daughters - grumble!

Answer 1

There was an ancestral file submission of Adriana (Ariaentjon) Ton 1765-1830 who had an uncle named Dirk Ton 1769-1781. The birth years don't jive, but that's the way it's shown. I know that the accuracy of ancestral file submissions needs to be verified for correctness. Here is where it is:

Comments

Thanks Frank - The ancestral file is definitely the wrong person, but also definitely related. Adriana Ton who married first Jacob Biester and second Hendrick Velcke would be a first cousin once removed of the Adriaantje that I am trying to track down.

As for the Toen record you gave, everything about it seems wrong to me - my gut feeling says no, it just doesn't fit with everything I know of the family.

All the same, thanks for taking a try at it.

It was something that seemed OK at first, but after I gave it as an answer, it seems to be incorrect. In spite of efforts to delete it, it would not go away.

Answer 2

Sorry, no usable hits found when searching

• All obvious archives, probably just like you already did: wiewaswie, geldersarchief, streekarchiefbommelerwaard
• Amsterdam archive, pre-1811 marriages and deaths.
• Delpher
• Family trees

Two Dutch family trees I found have, just like you, only her baptism date.

In Delpher I found (searching 'heerewaarden') two newspaper stories, one reporting river flooding (1784), the other war (1794) and infectuous diseases (1804 & 1805). It could very well be Adriaantje was an unreported victim of one of these disasters, or ran off with a soldier.

The only strategy left is to search record collections of province, regional, and city archives . I'll get to it, but that will take some time...
