I am hoping anyone might be able to help me. I think (and with emphasis on the word “think”), I may have a personal family descent to Jan Back.
Personally, I have been successful in tracing my paternal Dutch line to Adriaen Hendrick Roelof Hendricks and Jenneke Jan Back. For context, here’s the family (my descent is through daughter Christina) genealogieonline.nl/genealogie-ketelaars/I1045346985.php (opent in een nieuw tabblad).
In poring through the Schepenbank van Tilburg en Goirle, I came across the following entry:
1536, maart 7 n.st. – R 282/54v:
Jan son of the late Arijaen Roelofs, Marij his sister and Peter son of the late Peter Dries as husband and mom of Margriet his housewife, children of Arijaen Roelofs, who Arijaen had obtained from the late Jenneke his housewife, daughter of the late Jan Back, for themselves and for Mr. Henrick, priest, their brother and brother-in-law; Peter and Dierck, brothers, Frans Jan Brouwers as husband and mom of Elijsabeth his housewife, children of the late Jan Peter Diercks, who had obtained Jan pros from the late Heijlwich, his housewife, daughter of the late Arijaen Roelofs and Jenneke pros, for themselves and for Jan . Arijaena, Aleijdt, Kathelijn and Aertke, their brother and sisters, Jan son of the late Cornelis Herman van Boerden and Elijsabeth his sister, who had previously won Cornelis from the late Cristina his housewife,
Here, in 1536, Jenneken is styled as “Jenneke zijn huisvrouw, dochter van wijlen Jan Back…”
To make matters interesting, this researcher posted this pedigree online: genealogieonline.nl/stamboom-van-osch/I23633.php (opent in een nieuw tabblad)
Jenneken is seen here as having been married twice. While it’s not out of the realm of possibility, I am extremely skeptical. In another case, this researcher shows Jenneken as a descendant of the family tree reconstructed here: genealogieonline.nl/en/stamboom-peijsel/I221923.php (opent in een nieuw tabblad)
My question: is this the Jenneken, who married Adriaen Hendrick Roelof Hendricks? If not, where does she fit into the family structure? Clearly, she was identified in the 1536 deed transaction as being a daughter of the late Jan Back.
I would welcome any help anyone might be able to offer to sort out this genealogical puzzle.
