Notes - She is also named: Maritge Dircks Dericksd and also: Marige Dericks and Merritien.
We believe that she could be the daughter of Dirck Mertensz van der Eem.

The van O-s and van der Eems moved in the same circles and churches.
We have noted above that Maritge Dirks (Berndt's wife) could have been born into the 'van der Eem' family. This family also goes interchangeably be 'Vreem'. Indeed, there is a Meritgen Vreem, but she married a Hendricks's van Bijler in 1650. Could Berndt Hendriks have died much earlier than 1658 and Maritge had a brief second marriage before marrying Gijsbert Gerrits in 1658. It is possible … but unlikely. I think:
In 1638 Berndt Henderickse and Marige Dericks were registered in the Rijswijk church (Gelders archief: 1104.1, p. 8v, numbers 38 and 39.
She was a witness at the baptizing of her grandson Albert Jacobsen van O. in 1666 in Ingen and at the baptizing of Wilhemken Fieren Udo on 26-03-1671 in Maurik.
Doop Aelbert Jacobsen van Osenbrugge, 19-02-1666
Doopdatum: 19-02-1666
Dopeling: Aelbert Jacobsen van Osenbrugge
Moeder: Jantien Jans
Getuigen e.a.: Merritien Dircks
Vader: Jacob Aelbertsen van Osenbrugge
Kerkelijke gemeente: Ingen
Gelders Archief: Toegangsnummer: 0176. Inventarisnummer: 1055.0
We have a copy of the original church document. In decifering the handwriting it says that the bourgmoeder is Morritien Dircks. A bourgmoeder was the grandmother (sometimes great-grandmother) of the child.
Could Jacob Aelbert's be a son of Berndt? Is Berendt short for Aelbert?
- She is also named: Maritge Dircks Dericksd and also: Marige Dericks and Merritien.
