Open questions

• Where is Kriedouw, and were the Oosthuizens there in July 1821? priority 1 · LEAD-0052

  The Beaufort West register puts the direct-ancestor couple's son born 'aan KRIEDOUW' on 26 July 1821. Most entries on the page say the same. Where is it, and how does it sit against the belief that the family established at Middelwater about 1821?

  What would settle it A gazetteer or a map fixing Kriedouw, or an opgaafrol entry putting the couple on a named farm in 1820-22.

• The Strydoms: married into this family at least four times and enrolled beside them in 1816 priority 2 · LEAD-0225

  [FAMILY] Might be worth looking into the strydoms as well - seems they were close to oosthuizens. How close, and does the Strydom connection predate the Koup?

  What would settle it Whether the Strydoms held loan places in the same veldcornetcy, and whether the Oosthuizen-Strydom marriages predate 1809.
