If the marriage certificate is correct and Hartog was, indeed, 28 years of age in 1611, then he must have been born in 1583. In that case, the baby baptised in 1580 was probably an older brother and namesake who died in infancy—a frequent occurrence at the time. It is, however, possible that he was the Dirk Hartog baptised in 1580, in which case he would have been 30 years old when he wed.

Figure 2. City map of Amsterdam. The Smaksteeg, where Dirk Hartog and his siblings grew up, is indicated with a yellow dot. The area of the Brouwersgracht where he lived with Meijnsje is marked with a small rectangle. Amstelodami Celeberrimi Hollandiae Emporii Delineatio Nova. Map: Joan Blaeu, 1649. Biblioteca Nacional de Espafia. Born into a family with strong ties to the shipping industry, Hartog was the second son of skipper Hartog [Harich] Krijnen and Griet Jans. The couple had at least four children who lived to adulthood; Hartog had an older brother Willem (born c. 1575), an older sister Trijntje (born c. 1578), and a younger sister Neeltje (baptised on 16 August 1584). The family lived in the Smaksteeg in Amsterdam, an alleyway situated between the modern-day streets [Korte] Nieuwendijk and Kattengat. Their home was about 100 m from the lock then known as the Nieuw Haarlemmersluis (See Figure 2) and the Haringpakkerstoren (a tower where herring were processed and packed) (See Figure 3). After the death of his father, Hartog’s mother, Griet, managed to raise the children on her own, teaching them basic skills such as arithmetic, reading and writing.°
