Almero Jacobus Hitge Oosthuizen baptised at Prince Albert
10 February 1878 · family · Prince Albert (Kweekvallei)
Born on 18 January 1878 and baptised three weeks later - by now the family is in the Prince Albert congregation, founded within living memory, and the church is close enough that a baptism no longer waits fourteen weeks as his father's did in 1837. Third son, so by the naming pattern he carries his father's name Almero, with his mother's surname Hitge added - and that is how Hitge became a given name in this family for three generations.
