Baptisms - WitnessMaria Schalck potentially witnessed the baptism of Domingo NN on 24 January 1677 Nederduitsch Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town), de Caep de Goede Hoop, this witness has not been positively identified.9
She potentially witnessed the baptism of David NN on 24 January 1677 Nederduitsch Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town), de Caep de Goede Hoop, this witness has not been positively identified.10
She witnessed the baptism of Maria van de Caep in December 1695 Nederduitsche Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town).11
She and Bastiaen Jansen Colyn witnessed the baptism of Maria Colyn on 25 May 1696 Nederduitsch Gereformeerde Kerk, (Cape Town), de Caep de Goede Hoop.12
NotesMaria Schalck and Derkje van de Caep Someone asked me on a public forum in April 2016 on what I based the fact that Maria and Derkje were not twins, even though I have not said they were not (or were). I have no view at present on this.

The facts are:
—as far as I am at present aware, Derkje never again appears in the record. It is therefor unlikely that whether or not they were a twin will ever be established with certainty
—in that period it was not uncommon that a comment was made in baptism record when two siblings baptised together were a twin
—that as of the present, I have not confirmed beyond a doubt that Maria Schalck is the daughter of Koddo van Guinea, or that this 1665 baptism is hers
—this is why I state unequivocally on the website with respect to these events
——with respect to the mother-daughter relationship: "candidate relationship, offered with a view toward further discovery in the record"
——with respect to the baptism of the child Maria: "Maria Schalck may be the individual who was baptized on 06 Sep 1665"

Visitors to the site would be well advised to read everything on a page and not simply cherrypick bits of information here and there.
Slave EmancipationsOn 8 May 1686 de Caep de Goede Hoop Jannetje Bort van de Caep, Maria Schalck and Armosyn de Groote van de Caep, company owned slaves, were emancipated by resolution of the Council of Policy at a meeting convened by Simon van der Stel, at which Cornelis Pietersz Linnes, Oelof Bergh, Andrijs de Man, Jeronimus Cruse, Albert van Breugel, Johann Heinrich Blom, Johannes van Keulen and Joannes Guilliamer de Grevenbroeck were present.13
