Hellegers-Hettema Family Tree

politisfennell1 says: Lived in Den Helder. He was the father the
Thomas Hellegers who was born in 1758 or 1760.

There are records for a Thomas Hellegers born ca. 1758 and for a
Thomas Hellegers born ca. 1760. The first shows a wife named Maria
Meijer (born ca. 1758) and the second shows a wife named Johanna
Meijer (born ca. 1760). The first record shows a son named Antonij
Hellegers (born ca. 1798) and the second shows a daughter named Johanna
Hellegers (born ca. 1801). It's a reasonable conjecture that these
two entries are for the same family. and it's possible that Thomas
Hellegers' wife was called Maria Johanna.

Neither of the online records for Thomas Hellegers shows the birth
of a son named Thomas. He may have been their son all the same.
Records for this period are incomplete and thus the absence of a
birth record is not surprising; the generational time span is about
what it should be; and, though Maria does not show up as a common
given name after this time, Thomas, Antonij and its variants, and
both Johanna and the male equivalent are do appear.
