Messy Master Profile for Hendrick Schoonmaker

Curator/Managers of Hendrick Hendericksen Schoonmaker,
He is marked as an MP (Master Profile?) but looks a little wonky in terms of relationships - I think 2 difference Hendrick's have been merged into one.

I am contacting you about this profile: Hendrick Hendericksen Schoonmaker

I think we have 2 difference Hendrick Schoonmaker's here, possibly brothers where both have "hendrick" in their christianed names.
I think Gertrude deWitt is the wife of one of them (in my records, which are by no means necessarily accurate, "Hendrick Jochemse Schoonmaker, a twin, 1665-1711"); and Petronella Sclecht (1st wife) and Anna Hussey (2nd wife) belongs to the other one (again, not necessarily accurate, but I have the husband here being "Captain Jochem Hendrick Schoonmaker (eldest child) 1655-1713").

Not sure how we can clear this up.

A lot of this mess may be due to me and I apologize.

Please help :)

Thanks,
Shirley Pearson

Hi nn P

Yes, you’re correct - brothers Hendrick (who married Geertruyd (de Wit) & Jochem (Hendrixse) Schoonmaker (abt. 1655 - bef. 1730) (who married 1) Pieternelletje Corneliusdochter Slecht (1658 - 1689) & 2) Antje (Hussey) Schoonmaker (bef. 1670 - 1752)) have been mis merged.

I’ll see what I can do about separating them.

Thank you for posting, and apologies for late response.

I’m referencing from https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hendrixse-1 as a start, but I know there are more resources.

Thanks!
Shirley
