Jaco Strauss:I am contacting you about this profile: Rosetta van Java, SM/PROG. I see her date of birth is given as "estimated between 1658 and 1710", but as her son Adolph was born around 1718, she could not have been born much later than 1700. So perhaps a guestimate of 1690-1700 would be more realistic if one considers her child bearing years between 1718 and 1731.
Sharon Doubell: Yes, and if we assume that she had a son, Jacob, prior to Adolph, 1710 becomes even more dicey :-)
The "estimated" indicator is what the programme puts in if it is left blank, and there is enough birth data in the generations around it to suggest a rough possible timespan. I imagine that in this case it's compensating for the "circas" in that surrounding data.
I will put it as c1680 - 1700.
