Notes:Sy mag in die rekords so aangeteken wees. Mense was duidelik op Engelse spellings opgeteken: "Christian" vir "Christiaan", "Petersen" vir "Pietersen", ens. maar haar name was in werklikheid PIETER HENDRIK PIETERSEN (later OLIVIER, gebore HENNING). Sy was haar lewe lank as "Pieta" bekend. Sy is vernoem na haar pa, Pieter Hendrik Henning, wat 'n maand voor haar geboorte dood is. Sy is aangeteken op die Henning Familiekroniek ('n onmoontlike webwerf om enigiets op te soek, so ek ek heg dit eerder vir julle hierby aan as 'n aanhangsel). Die "Petronella Hendra" is beslis 'n innovasie van iemand wat nie kon glo dat sy regtig mansname het nie! Haar man op daardie stadium was JOHANNES CHRISTAAN PIETERSEN en nie "Christian Johannes" soos julle gegewens sê nie. Hulle seun was CHRISTIAAN WILHELMUS PIETERSEN wat by julle aanteken is as "Christian Willem Petersen" (ID 94509).
