Foto's
86 foto's. Die eerste oortjies is die familielyne; die res is die ander soorte prent. Elkeen staan ook op die blad waar dit hoort - die mens, die plaas, die begraafplaas, die storie - en dit is die ingang vir 'n leser wat nie reeds weet waar om te kyk nie.
'n Foto hier is een wat hierdie projek besit en mag publiseer. Die grafsteenfoto's op eGGSA word nie gekopieer nie: dit bly op hulle werf en word vanaf die begraafplase geskakel. Waar 'n prent as ingekleur gemerk is, is die kleur later bygevoeg en is dit nie deel van die rekord nie: albei weergawes is hier, en die prent maak oop wat ook al gewys word.
Oosthuizen & Marincowitz (38)
Marincowitz en Oosthuizen staan hier saam in een groep omdat die twee deur AFKOMS kruis: Tokkie Marincowitz se ma en sy pa se ma was albei Oosthuizens, en die twee lyne deel voorouers terug tot by Ockert Almero Oosthuizen en Adriana Cecilia Venter, die egpaar waar hierdie hele rekord begin. Tokkie se band met die van der Merwes is van 'n ander aard - die huwelik, met Maria Magritha van Rensburg, weduwee van Frans Jacobus Wilhelmus van der Merwe - en sover die afkoms wat hier aangeteken is strek, is daar aan daardie kant geen gemeenskaplike voorouer nie.
