From Richard paping: Presumably Jan Geerts had a sister Martje Geerts who had to marry 19-2-1730 RK Den Hoorn the inn-keeper Jan Cornelis of Den Hoorn (widower of Bouke Eisses). Her only son Cornelis Jans (baptised 1-4-1730,
orphaned at an early age) married 8-6-1754 Anje Jans and was in first instance a baker too, like Jan Geerts himself (who may have raised Cornelis Jans).
We know that Hijbel Jans is related to Jan Geerts as a halfbrother. He might have been a son of a hypothetical Jan Hijbels and Aaltje. His first daughter was an Aaltje! (as was the second daughter of Jan Geerts). He seems to had a
sister Frouke Jans living in Groningen (she was a halfsister of Jan geerts not his mother. Wessels, H.R.A Transcriptions

The Julles Halsema info shows up when a descendant ofWillem Borgman & Frouke Julles Halsema marries a 5th generation descendant of Jacob and Geertruid. The Borgman descendant is Willem Borgman born 13 Feb 1830 and the information about his ancestors is almost 4 pages.
