Isaac van de Caep van Anna van de Caep1

M, #18715, b. 16 December 1696
Mother*Anna van de Caep b. c 1675; I am assuming the same women gave birth to three children spaced 2 to 3 years apart, as was often the case at the time, and all described as castijs or castys - implying she was in a de facto relationship with the same individual1
