If the above Femmetje "Phebe" Jans Sales (Sayles) is Jannetje's mother, then, I may be Humphfrey Bogart's 8th cousin, thrice removed, according to WikiTree. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
↑ NOTE: Jannetje's parents are listed as Teunis Janse Coeverts (Covert) and Barbara (Lucas or Jans) according to page 6 of The New York Genealogical and Biological Record, Volume XXXIX, 1908 and in such instances, she is listed with the surname Coverts (Covert, Couvert). This also means the above ancestry is somewhat speculative. |
