From the Probate record of Geertruida Robbertse we know that children no. 5,6 and 7 (as listed in Biography below) are her children. The names of child #4 would agree with her mother having been Hester Jacoba Roets, therefore it is safe to assume that # 1, 2 and 3 must be the children of Hester Jacoba Roets as well. No children are mentioned who have Anna Venter as their mother
