{geni:about_me} Input from Delia Robertson:

It was the accepted legal practice at the time that new spouses to the biological parent of a child became the legal parent … this applied in different circumstances, children born out of wedlock, children of a deceased parent, etc. Sometimes they were referred to as adopted, sometimes as (step)child, etc. So there was generally no formal adoption process in these examples. In other cases (the Meerhof children being an example) children were placed in the care of an individual by the Council, or the church, or the court.

Christoffel was the universal heir to Anthonij Jansz v Bengale and his mother Groote Catrijn.
=========================================
Viking' blood at the Cape - DNA evidence confirms European paternity of Christoffel Snijman van der Caep and debunks theory he was the biological son of Anthonij Jansz van Bengale.
An examination of recently published public DNA test of Kornelius Snyman showing him to be in the Y-DNA haplogroup I-M253 - the ancient paternal lineage of the Nordic countries popularly known as the 'Viking' haplogroup. Forty percent of Fins and 38% of Swedes are from this haplogroup which also commonly occurred in other north European countries and in Germany, France and the United Kingdom.

'''Y-DNA Genetic Information'''

A descendant of Christoffel's son Philippus (b7) has tested positive in April 2014 for: I1 M253+ Z60+
(The haplogroup I-M253 is also referred to as I1d1a)

Haplogroup I-M253 (Y-DNA) is the original paternal lineage of Nordic Europe (Z60 is a subclade under this haplogroup). The highest frequencies of the I-M253 lineage are now found in Scandinavian countries. I-M253 males are currently present throughout Europe, consisting of about 40 percent of the male population of Norway, 35 percent of Finland, between 10 and 11 percent of French, about 18 percent of German and between 10 and 22 percent of the British Isles.

Sy vader is toe na Robben eiland gestuur op die 30 Julie 1667. Christoffel se moeder was hierdie Catharina van Bengale.
In 'n brief van die owerheid 6 Januarie 1672 word daar melding gemaak dat Groot Catrijn vrygestel was.
Sy moeder trou later met die vryswarte Anthony (Jansz) (de Later) van Bengale, wat toe sy stiefvader was. Baie mense maak die fout om te dink dat sy stiefvader sy vader was. Daar moes 'n tragedie plaas gevind het want die hele familie is ewe skielik oorlede tussen Desember 1682 en Februarie 1683, behalwe Christoffel.
Christoffel was een van die min manlike halfslag slawe wat in die witgemeenskap ingetrou het. Christoffel trou in Julie 1689 met Margaretha Therese DE SAVOYE.
Christoffel Snyman het in 1692 geboer in vennootskap met Ernst Friedrich Walter. Hy het geboer op die plaas Sandvliet in Groot Drakenstein. Christoffel Snyman het in 1706 gesterwe. Margaretha Therese DE SAVOYE trou toe met Henning Viljoen.
