Biography* 
Louise lived at Curaçao.
Louisa's mother probably is Maria Clementina MOOR, former slave at Bonaire. Petrus Adrianus Gerber most probably is the father. We are currenlty (2009) investigating this mistery, which is covered up, by a birthcertificate being entered in the administration long after she was born. It says she was born at Curacao. It is most probably untrue. Petrus Gerber and his wife Hester Maria Streeder are white and have white ancestors. Louisa and many of her offspring are mixed, some are white some are coloured. So there is realy something about Louisa....
A DNA test would be very welcome. But how to set it up. We probably need the maternal lines and descendants of both families in maternal line. So apart from the already known descendants of Louisa, we need other descendants of Maria Clementina MOOR, her mother.

At the birth of Johan August Frederik Bekker, her name includes for the first time a reference to her assumed slave name: Louisa Rudolphina MOOR CLEMENTINA.
Also in her deatch certificate there is a reference to her original name: Louisa Augustina Federica Redolfina Gerber.
