Afrikaans naming repeats hard, and the Cape Dutch naming pattern reuses a name on purpose, a child who died young has the name given again to a later sibling. These are different people. Never match on a name alone.

[9 Aug 2026, SRC-348] A DIRECT ANCESTOR, admitted under scope rule R3, which takes direct ancestry back unbounded. Christened at PAARL in the Drakenstein on 9 January 1735, so born before that date, and died at TULBAGH on 30 April 1778. He is the generation above Carel Aaron (PER-001639, b. 1771), who was seven when he died. THE NAMING PATTERN AGREES: Carel Aaron's first son was called Schalk Willem (PER-001635, b. 1794), which is what the vernoemingspatroon does with a father's father, 5b. That is corroboration and it is not proof, and the link itself is [TREE] rather than documentary. He extends the Boland end of this line from Piketberg back to Paarl and Tulbagh.
