A number of genealogical researcher have claimed Jolant (male), born 1627, as their ancestress Jelante/Yolanda (female). THIS IS A MISTAKE, as any careful study of dates would make clear. Not only was Jolant not female, he did not live after 1635, and he is most certainly not the progenitor of a vast number of Van Kortryk descendants.
