Family Registers

Die nageslag van GERRIT JANSZOON VAN AART,matroos in diens van die V.O.C. afkomstig van DELFT  en sy vrou LEVIJNTJE THEUNIS VAN GENT # afkomstig van ROTTERDAM. Die name en vanne van die stamvader en "moeder" word in brondokumente op verskeie maniere gespel. So is die volgende spellings by die GVP te Delft raakgeloop: Gerrit Janse van Aart, Gerrit Jansz van Aert, Levijntje, Lavijntie, Levina Theunis van Gent, Van Genz, Baertie, Barendina, Baartje, Theunis, Theunijs. Daar is deurgaans gepoog om 'n aanvaarbare spelling te gebruik.

While researching information for the EVA family the names of Eastland, Graham and Hatton appear. Some one mentioned Elizabeth Eastland married to J.C. Hatton and having one son William Hatton. There is some confusion here. Elizabeth Goldfinch Eastland was born in Dover, Kew and baptised 30.10.1846 in Deal. She came with her parents in Menze’s Party on the Weymouth at age 4.

There were two Ueckermanns that came to South Africa from the town Mecklenburg in Germany.
1)  Heinrich Julius Frederich Christiaan Ueckermann, born 20 Jul 1827. Nothing is known about his parents.
2) Carl August Friedrich Ueckermann, born 19 Jul 1837. He arrived with his Mother, Dorothea Marie Helena Carolina Martiz. Nothing is known about his father George Godfried Ueckermann. In 1861 Heinrich Ueckermann acquired part of the Farm Langlaagte and established a general dealer at the crossing of Port Natal (Durban) /Potchefstroom road, with the main road between Cape Town and Pretoria. In 1865 he appointed T.W. Fannin as surveyor for a town development, which named after his alma mater in Germany, and Heidelberg was established in 1866.

There were three or four Strickers that came to South Africa from Germany and Switzerland.

1. Heinrich STRICKER, born in Brocken, Prussia
2. L. STRICKER, born in Germany. He could the same as Louis (son of Heinrich, above
3. Wilhelm STRICKER, born abt 1857 in Hamburg, Germany
4. Jacob STRICKER, born abt 1838, Switzerland

Only one Ludorf came to South Africa from Mannhein, Germany. Joseph David Martin Ludorf
Most of the information comes from Death Notices in Estate Files, Divorce Files and Gravestone inscriptions.

In my attempts to establish the facts for an article published in Genesis February 2007, I have reconstructed a large part of the first three Gous generations from the various documents that I consulted and I take the opportunity of presenting the first two generations here, since there is some variation between what I have found and what is presented in De Villiers / Pama and SAG. This family tree can also be seen on my personal web site The Gous Family of the Cape where the detailed source for every piece of information is also provided, as also the article Which Pieter Gous was Aletta Vorster's husband?

Die eerste en historiese SMITH Familiefees op Graaff-Reinet op 29/30 Mei 1981 het nie alleen ontstaan as gevolg van my intensiewe navorsing oor die Smithfamilie sedert Januarie 1982 nie, maar waarskynlik meer so as gevolg van die geweldige reaksie wat hierdie navorsingspoging by familieverwante ontlok het. Dit is dus vir my ‘n groot behoefte om my opregte dank oor te dra aan soveel welwillende familieverwante wat bygedra het om hierdie onvergeetlike Fees en in besonder hierdie publikasie moontlik te maak.

Twee Schulze-families word hier behandel:
Die kleiner en jonger familie Schulze, nasate van die Hermannsburgse sendeling, Wilhelm Ernst SCHULZE (1869-1961) en
Die nageslag van Carl Ferdinand Ludolph Dietrich SCHULZE (1836-1916) van Lydenburg.
Vir laasgenoemde is daar ook 'n CD beskikbaar by ghrobbertze@telkomsa.net.
Benewens die geslagsregister bevat dit ook foto's van persone, geboue en voorwerpe asook ander dokumentasie oor hierdie familie wie se se voorgeslag teruggevoer word tot die 16de eeu in Duitsland.In CAPENSIS 3/2013 verskyn 'n artikel: "Só het die SCHULZEs na Suid-Afrika gekom: Die stamvader en sy kinders - hulle wel en wee." deur Sasa Malan. Hierin word meer persoonlike besonderhede van hierdie gesin verskaf.

born in 1798 in Westminister, London, was baptised on 1 March 1799 in St. Mary, Lambeth, Surrey, London by Rector Emmanuel W. Vyse and died on 20 December 1847 in Whittlesea,
Eastern Cape South Africa4 aged 49.

Hierdie nasate register van Joseph HAYCOCK is sover ek weet die eerste en enigste nasate register van die HAYCOCK familie in Suid-Afrika. Dankie aan al my skoonfamilie wat na die beste van hulle vermoëns en deur pynlike herinnerings my gehelp het om dit sover te kry. Joseph HAYCOCK het ons land binnegekom en al die aanduidings is dat hy nooit teruggegaan het na Engeland nie. Daar was geen familie wat hom hier besoek het nie. Die familie het Afrikaans in taal, kultuur en godsdiens geword.
