READ IN FULL. 1. Naam: ANNA JACOBA VANDERMERWE, GEBOREN LOUW. 2. Geboorteplaats: BOKKEVELD, DIST. CALVINIA. 3. Namen der Ouders: JACOBUS ADRIAAN LOUW en MARIA CATHARINA ELIZABETH LOUW. 4. Ouderdom: circa 75 jaren. 5. Stand: BOEREN. 6. Weduwe. 7. Datum van overlyden: 3de Maart 1868. 8. Aan welk huis: LOKENBURG. 10. Roerende en onroerende goederen. | 9. NAMEN DER KINDEREN, and this is the substance of the sheet: (1) JACOBUS ADRIAAN Vandermerwe, OVERLEDEN, nalatende 4 kinderen waarvan 3 mondig en 1 onmondig zyn; (2) CAREL AARON Vandermerwe, OVERLEDEN, nalatende 1 mondige dochter; (3) MARIA, gehuwd met IZAAK HERMANUS VISAGIE; (4) SCHALK WILLEM JACOBUS Vandermerwe; (5) ANNA JACOBA LOUISA, gehuwd met GERRIT JACOBUS VAN WYK; (6) JACOBUS NEL Vandermerwe, meerderjarig; (7) JOHANNA, gehuwd met JOHANNES ABRAHAM VAN WYK; (8) FRANCOIS JACOBUS Vandermerwe, meerderjarig; (9) ELIZABETH SUSANNA, gehuwd met IZAAK JACOBUS VANDERMERWE. | IT CONFIRMS THE MODEL AND ADDS THE HUSBANDS. This project already held TWELVE children of Anna Jacoba and Schalk Willem, every one with a FamilySearch id, and all nine of the notice's names match one of them. The notice lists only those alive in 1868 or dead leaving issue, which is why it is nine and not twelve: Elsje Johanna Jacoba (b.1815) and Petrus Johannes Jacobus (b.1825) are absent, and so is one of the two men called Jacobus Adriaan. | WHAT IS NEW is four sons-in-law, three of whom were not in the model at all - Izaak Hermanus Visagie, Gerrit Jacobus van Wyk, Johannes Abraham van Wyk and Izaak Jacobus van der Merwe, the last of them a van der Merwe marrying a van der Merwe. | AND IT DOES NOT NAME A DANIEL JACOBUS LOUW. A death notice names parents and children, not siblings, so this cannot settle LEAD-0151 either way.
Kept verbatim. This project contradicts published genealogies and corrects a family's own oral tradition, so every claim has to be checkable by someone who was not in the room.
