Research notes
[SRC-253] Husband of Maria Magdalena Elizabeth Janse van Vuuren (PER-001419), named in full on her mother's death notice - the 1863 notice of her father had given only "[C.P.?] Petzer". HE IS ALSO THE MAN WHO COMPLETED THE 1887 FORM, signing himself "Cousin in law of deceased" - so by his own account he was kin to her twice over, by marriage and by blood. Petzer is a new surname for this project.
