As early as 1696, Lambertie was counted among the church members. Her father had passed on by 1697 when she was counted as the lone child in the household of her widowed mother.

In In November 1700, she married Ariaan Oothout at the Albany church. By 1723, nine children had been christened at the church where both parents were regular baptism sponsors.
