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.

Navorsingsnotas

Youngest child of Pieter Venter d'oude and Martha du PlessisM - 'oud 10 jaren' in his father's April 1789 inventory (SRC-581), baptised at Tulbagh [?1779] (SRC-583), died 19 May 1870 at [?Mosquit]fontein, district Bloemfontein, aged 91 (SRC-582). Brother of Jan Louis VenterL (PER-000120) and uncle of Adriana Cecilia (PER-000002). HIS STERFKENNIS CARRIES THE FAMILY'S PRE-PAARL GROUND: 'geboorteplaats district Olifantsrivier, Kaapkolonie' - the district named, while his baptism names the church, Tulbagh, which served that country. One of the family who went NORTH to the Free State while his brother's line went to the Koup. Widower of Margaretha Johanna [?Louw].

[24 Aug 2026, FS detail supplied] FS LHQK-HM8 confirms 1779-1870 and both marriages: Aletta Sophia Bezuidenhout (MWNJ-9DY, m. 28 Oct 1798 Cape Town, d. 1808) and Margrietha Johanna LOUW (2CBB-WND, 1791-1854) - which confirms this row's [?Louw] reading of the sterfkennis. Six children by the first marriage per FS; the Free State branch is not followed outward.

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.
