Klik op enige naam, dan word dieselfde drie geslagte om daardie mens getrek. Daar is nie 'n stampaar hier nie, en ook nie 'n bopunt aan die boom nie: dit wys net die familie wat die naaste aan die mens staan oor wie jy lees, en 'n oop plek is 'n gaping in die rekord eerder as 'n uitspraak oor iemand.

A sourced gap beats an unsourced fill. These are the open questions on this person, stated rather than papered over.

Navorsingsnotas
[11 Aug 2026] A DIRECT ANCESTOR, named on ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS rather than taken from a tree: he is named as the father of Christina Elizabeth NelM on her 1867 Calvinia baptism entry (SRC-399) and again on her 1895 death notice (SRC-400), AND he stood as a witness at his granddaughter's baptism at Calvinia in 1887 (SRC-380). His grandson born 1888, PER-000219, carries his name entire. NO FAMILYSEARCH ID YET, which is a gap worth closing - the standing rule for imports on this project is that a row should carry one so it can be re-checked against the live tree. Name and the family link only; no dates and no place beyond what the documents give.
[11 Aug 2026, SRC-412] FAMILYSEARCH ID AND DATES ADDED. This row was made this morning from a baptism index and a death notice, neither of which carries an id, and the gap was flagged on it. The son's family-tree closes it: 9F3V-N1X, 1836-1916. They married at CALVINIA on 11 JANUARY 1858 and had thirteen children.
*** [SRC-629, 7 Sep 2026] THE REGISTER CALLS HIM GILLIAM, NOT GIDEON. *** He stood as first witness at his grandson Kola's baptism at Calvinia on 2 December 1888, and the clerk wrote 'Jacs Johs GILLIAM Nel' - on the same line as the child, who is entered as Jacobus Johannes GILLIAM. So the third name is attested as Gilliam for BOTH men, in one hand, on one day. This model calls him Gideon, from compiled sources. display_name is left alone and doopnaam is marked with a query, because this is one register writing his name in passing as a witness rather than his own baptism entry - good evidence for the form the family used, and not the same thing as his own font. WHAT WOULD SETTLE IT: his own baptism, about 1836. WIT-00383.
*** [SRC-630, 7 Sep 2026] HIS PARENTS ARE FOUND, AND HIS OWN NAME NOW HAS A GRANDFATHER BEHIND IT. *** He had no parentage in this model at all until today. Father: JACOBUS GIDEON NEL (PER-002053, 1812-1873), baptised 7 February 1813 as 'Jacobis Gidion', with JACOBIS GIDION LOUW as first witness. Mother: SUSANNA FRANCINA LOUW (PER-002054, 1817-1902), married at Clanwilliam 2 February 1834. So he is a Jacobus Johannes Gideon whose father was a Jacobus Gideon, named in turn for a Jacobus Gideon Louw. THREE MEN, ONE NAME, AND THE 1813 REGISTER SPELLS IT GIDION - which is the evidence LEAD-0343 lacked when it backed the 1888 'Gilliam' yesterday.

Oop vrae
-
Was the Nel third name Gilliam or Gideon, and who was Hendrika Gertruida Visser?
prioriteit P2 · LEAD-0343
The Calvinia register of 2 December 1888 (SRC-629) writes GILLIAM for both the child Kola (PER-000219) and his maternal grandfather (PER-001816), where this model has carried GIDEON for both from compiled sources. Which is the baptismal form? And the fourth witness, HENDRIKA GERTRUIDA VISSER, is held nowhere here, yet Kola named a daughter Hendrieka Gertruida in 1929 - who was she to this family?
Wat dit sou uitmaak The grandfather's own baptism entry for the name; any register naming Hendrika Gertruida Visser beside a Nel, a van Wyk or a van der Merwe.
