DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships.
It is likely that these
autosomal DNA
test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Cornelis Barentse:
According to The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Volume XLIII, No. 50, pg. 100 <https://www.google.com/books/edition/_/jtYUAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1> Cornelius was married secondly to Jannetje and she was mother to Elizabeth, Adriasentje, Marretje.
I've added the version of Anna Polhemius who has the correct parents as "second wife" of Cornelius until such time as the two are merged, so as to make it clear her parents are not a mystery.
