  4. [S680] André van Rensburg, "Familia: The secret modus operandi used to obtain slaves from Guinea for the Cape: the ship Hasselt - 1658," June 2001, The forced slave settlers on board the Hasselt were obtained from Popo, Benin (formerly Dahomey), and disembarked at the Cape on 7 May 1658. The VOC decided that 148 of the 228 slaves from the Hasselt were to be permanent settlers at the Cape, this being the largest number of new settlers yet to arrive. ... We know that Evert van Guinea and Anna van Guinea had a daughter Maria Everts, and that she and Bastiaan Colyn were the progenitors of the COLYN family. Were there continual descendants of Abraham van Guinea and Catharina van Guinea? Their child Sijbilla was manumitted in 1671 aged five and a half. There was also Claas and his wife van Guinea. Researchers need to identify who the descendants are of Louis Cattij, Anthony, Mary, Deucsous, Dirck, Dirckie, Gegeima, Oude Hans, Jajenne, Houw, and Serry. These were some of the settlers who came on the ship Hasselt.. Hereinafter cited as "The Hasselt."
