Ockert Oosthuizen baptised as "Ocker"

1755 · family

[SRC-091] Son of Jacobus Oosthuijsen and Diena Carola Brits, with OCKER BRITS and Johanna Botha as witnesses. Second son, so by the naming pattern he takes his mother's father's name - and that grandfather is standing at the font. No Almero: the family name at this point is simply Ocker, and it came from the Brits.
