Navorsingsnotas

[FS, from FamilySearch profiles supplied by the family 3 Aug 2026] THE MINNE PROGENITOR AT THE CAPE, and he is German, not Dutch or French: born about 1720 at PADERBORN, WESTPHALIA, PRUSSIA, son of Dirk Menne and Christjin Helbeck. Married Christina Scheepers at PAARL on 2 June 1743 and was dead before 2 January 1752 - eight or nine years in the colony. Four children are recorded. The surname is worth watching in this project because a farm in the Prince Albert district is called MINNIES KRAAL (PAR-000138).

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.
