Hi, The picture with the shoes says Roeloff was baptized on 6/1/1634, which means he could not have been born on 6/11/1634. Also a baptism date is usually not the date of birth. Baptisms were recorded most of the time, not the actual date of birth. Thanks, Judi Schoonover

If baptized on 1 Jun 1634, he could not have been born on 11 Jun 1634. The North America, Family Histories, 1500-2000 document on Ancestry lists his birth as 1 Jun 1634.
