The citation as it was given
DERIVATIVE and built on Ancestral File: nearly every entry carries an <AFN> and the report gives christening dates without naming the register. Treat it as a pointer to a record, never as the record. IT TOUCHES THIS PROJECT'S OWN LINE. The model already holds Gerrit Visser (1730-1812), Floris Fredrick (1758-1802~), Johannes Abraham (1798-1872), Ernestus Jacobus (1831-1880) and Maria Margaretha (1856-1923) - the line the relationship finder walks from Maria Magritha van Rensburg. This report adds that Johannes Abraham was BORN IN TULBAGH, and gives him brothers and sisters the model does not hold: Cornelia (1791), Ernestus Jacobus (1793), Helena Aletta (1797) and Nicolaas (1802, christened in the Roggeveld). NOTE THE REUSED NAME, which is 5b in one family: the Ernestus Jacobus christened 2 February 1793 is Johannes Abraham's BROTHER, and the Ernestus Jacobus this model holds, born 1831, is his SON. Two men, one name, a generation apart. [TO VERIFY]
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.
