Searching for a Makassarese woman from Segeri/Pangkadjene, born ca. 1859–1862
I am researching an indigenous/Makassarese woman who appears in Dutch East Indies records as Melouw.
She was born around 1859–1862 and had several children with Jacobus Antonius Cornelis Lambooij, a KNIL soldier. The family was connected with Segeri/Pangkadjene, Makassar, Banda Neira, Semarang and Bandoeng.
Known records include:
- Bertha Christina Lambooij, born 1881, later recognized in Banda Neira
- Hendrik Lambooij, born 1893, registered/recognized in Semarang
- Willem Lambooij, born 1899 in Bandoeng
In 1899 Melouw is described as a 39-year-old “Macassaarsche vrouw”. She was still alive in Semarang in 1902 at her daughter Bertha’s marriage.
I am looking for any records, FamilySearch films, local genealogies or lontara sources that may reveal her original local name, parents, village or family.
I am also interested in one-name indigenous women from Makassar/Segeri/Pangkadjene born around 1859–1862.
