Navorsingsnotas

Baptised Stellenbosch before 5 Mar 1719, DIED AT TULBAGH 6 Feb 1777. Almost certainly the Zacharias de BeerH who with his wife Dina took the loan farm QUEECKVALLEIJ in the Koup in 1762 - the farm the town of Prince Albert was later laid out on (PAR-000048). [TO VERIFY] If so, this is the first of our families onto that ground, eighty years before anyone else in this history. AND HE WAS A TULBAGH MAN, like the Oosthuizens who married there in 1749.

[3 Aug 2026] THE DE BEERS ARE THE EARLIEST THREAD IN THIS WHOLE PROJECT, and the 1833 Wintervelt register page shows what they had become by the fourth generation. On one page, one Sunday, a de Beer baptises a child by a Horn; a Matthys Jacobus de Beer baptises a child by a JOHANNA CATHARINA JOACHEMINA VENTER; and Barend Petrus, Jan Adriaan and Catharina Joachemina de Beer stand as witnesses. Add the field cornetcy "of Mr De Beer" over the Koup in 1833-34, the 1851 marriage into the Oosthuizens, the 1849 marriage into the Mienies, and OKKER ALMERO DE BEER carrying the Venetian name - and the family that took Queeckvalleij in 1762 is connected by marriage to almost every line this project follows. [TO VERIFY on the individual links]

These are working notes, not finished prose: they carry the reasoning, the corrections and the things still marked to verify. They are kept here so the page itself can read as what is known.

Die werksnotas op hierdie werf word in Engels gehou en word nie vertaal nie. Hulle verander met elke navorsingsessie, en 'n vertaling sou uit pas raak met die oorspronklike. Alles anders — die stories, die getranskribeerde dokumente en die koppelvlak — is in Afrikaans.
