Navorsingsnotas

NOT AN ANCESTOR - A COUSIN, and the join is the stamvader himself. His de Villiers code is b1c4d7e3, so he descends from the progenitor's eldest son GERHARDUS (b1); Frans descends from the youngest, JACOBUS (b8, PER-000230). The two lines part at the founder's children and do not meet again. [SRC-098] On 16 FEBRUARY 1838, at Van Rensburg's laager, days after Piet Retief's party was killed and the Bloukrans and Weenen attacks, the defenders ran out of powder. He rode straight through an estimated 1,500 Zulu warriors, took powder and ball off a wagon and rode back through them again. [SRC-097] SAG names PAUL NAUDE and ABRAHAM DE BEER with him - and a de Beer turning up beside an Oosthuizen is a pattern this project keeps meeting.

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.
