Navorsingsnotas
root ancestor (wife) [SRC-073] Born in the Sneeuberg district, baptised 25 Nov 1792; daughter of Jan Louis VenterL (PER-000120) and Johanna Jacomina SmitM (PER-000121). Died at Prince Albert 9 Mar 1858 - KAB: MOOC 6/9/81.5024.
30 Jul 2026 [SRC-134] Her elder sister Maria Catharina's household held RONDABEL by 1829 (MOOC8/44.48): Ockert Almero and Adriana Cecilia's own family on the farm next to Middelwater, a decade before the 1833 survey and four decades before the 1868 Oosthuizen grant of the same farm.
[20 Aug 2026, SRC-515] HER FAMILY AND HER FUTURE HUSBAND'S WERE IN THE SAME CHURCH IN SEPTEMBER 1799. Her sister Maria Elisabeth Catharina (PER-000618) was baptised at Graaff-Reinet on the same opening as Ockert Almero's brother Roelof (PER-000147), and her parents stood as witnesses elsewhere on it. She was seven; he was thirteen; they married in October 1807. This does not establish that the families were neighbours - a church draws from a wide country - but it is the earliest point at which the two are documented in one place.
[24 Aug 2026] FS's index title for her death notice reads 'Death Notice Adriana Cecelia Venter 9Mar1858 Prins Albert (65Y9M11D)'. The age back-computes to a birth about the end of May 1792 - six months before her Graaff-Reinet baptism of 25 Nov 1792 (SRC-555), consistent with the Sneeuberg birth. Index-title data; the notice itself is not yet held. [TO VERIFY]
[24 Aug 2026] HER DEATH NOTICE IS NOW HELD AND TRANSCRIBED - SRC-580, no. 5024 (43), filed 27 March 1858. It gives Sneeuwberg as birthplace, her parents, thirteen children all of age, and 65j 9m 11d at death on 9 March 1858 at Prins Albert - born about the end of May 1792, which sits six months before her Graaff-Reinet baptism. The derived birth stays out of the date field per 3.

Oop vrae
-
Is Venters Kloof named for Adriana Cecilia Venter's family - and did the Oosthuizens follow them to the Koup?
prioriteit 1 · LEAD-0027
Venters Kloof No. 168 lies immediately north of Middelwater No. 169, and the root ancestor Ockert Almero OosthuizenL married ADRIANA CECILIA VENTER. Did her family hold that kloof, and is that why the Oosthuizens ended up on the ground next to it?
Wat dit sou uitmaak A Venter named as holder or grantee of No. 168. Equally decisive the other way: a grantee of another surname, which would make the name a fossil of an earlier occupier and kill the family connection.
-
Two Oosthuizen-Venter marriages in eighteen months, on the Olifants River
prioriteit 1 · LEAD-0034
Ockert Almero married Adriana Cecilia VenterH in Oct 1807; by April 1809 his sister Cornelia Petronella was married to Petrus Jacobus VenterM. Were the two Venters siblings, and is this a double alliance between two families about to move east together?
Wat dit sou uitmaak Petrus Jacobus VenterM's parents. If they are Jan Louis VenterL and Johanna Jacomina SmitM, it is a double alliance and the case is made.
