Note that all lineages (234/234= 100%) give a year of death of 1729. In the original data most give an exact date of death of 30 December 1729, but some place the death in September.

Dates of birth range from 1648 to 1657, but most (216/234 =92%) give the date of birth as 1653.

The identity of the mother and father shows similar levels null values, also indicating uncertainty. In both cases there is considerable variation in the names identified, but much of that is attributable to variant spellings of the same name and typographic variations.

For the father the most common name given (149/234 =62%) is variant of Coen Lenssen Hecklers. Why the fathers surname differs from the child is a question of some interest, and needs an explanation. A considerably less common name for the father (14/234) is a variant of Matthias Doors. An understanding of why some think this is the name of Thones father is also needed.

The mothers name also occurs in a number of variants. A total of 156/234 =67% identify her as a variant of Anna Enjen Thones/Comes. If her surname was really "Thones", this suggests the the son took her mothers surname. On the other hand, THones may just be a mistranscription of "Comes". Other variant surnames given for her include Combs (probably a variant of Comes). Distinct minority views give heras an Op den Graeff or as a Neessgen. The basis for these alternatives should be examined.
