Talk:António Corea

Musician Chick Corea - distant descendant?
His article mentions that his father’s ancestors came from Albi, which, combined with his surname, would seem to tag him as a likely direct descendant of António. However, this would by WP:SYNTH unless we can find a reliable source explicitly connecting the two. Be on the lookout for one.LonelyBoy2012 (talk) 01:52, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Dates
There's some funkiness with dates; why do Weststeijn and Gesterkamp say 6 July for their arrival in the Netherlands, and Carletti 7 July? The two scholars give two citations for the claim, but don't explain the discrepency further.

Also I just caught this interesting detail in their paper: Other archival sources suggest that another Korean was present in Zeeland slightly later: a Dutch merchant in Japan, Jacques Specx, had as his servant ‘een Coreer, die voor een bootsgesel met de Japansche vaert ende voor desen met eenich Hollants schip in Zeeland gheweest’. Cornelis van Neyenrode to J.P. Coen, 17 February 1628, in: Coolhaas 1919, vol. 7, part 2, 1226-1227 (and cf. 1257); according to Chi & Walraven 2003, 40-41, this man may have been Rubens’s model. May do something with this info later. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 19:50, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
