Biografie (Afrikaans)

Geele Andriesz van der Walt, stamvader van die "Van der Walts" in Suid Afrika, afkomstig van Veenwouden, Friesland, seun van Andries Geles/Gaeles, 'n pagboer te Dantumadiel by Veenwouden. Hy arriveer in die Kaap in 1727 as matroos in diens van die VOC, as Kwartiermeester, om vir sy pasaat te betaal. In 1735 is hy burger en boer in die Roggeveld, in die Swellendamse distrik. Geele Andriesz trou 16 November 1742 met die 18 jarige Johanna Weyers, dogter van Heinrich Weyers van Eppe/Epe, Duitsland en Anna Elizabeth Gerrits {aka Gerritse, Lecrivent}. Hy is oorlede in 1757. Na sy dood trou Johanna op 25 November 1758 met Christiaan Godlieb Lessing. Sy was dus die stammoeder van beide die van der Walt en Lessing families. [2]

Uitkyk & Quachafontein

Gaele (Andriesz) 'van der Walt' het in die Roggeveld, vandag se Sutherland, ingetrek en 'n veeboer geword. Op 15 November 1746 kry hy weiregte vir die leningplaas Uijtkijk [3][4], oorkant die Doornrivier [5] in die Roggeveld. Op 25 September 1751 kry hy weieregte op Kruysrivier oorkant die Doornrivier in die Roggeveld. Op 2 November 1752 kry hy weiregte op Quachafontein [3] in die Roggeveld. Op 6 April 1756 kry hy die leningplaas Brandwagt, oor die Visrivier aan die Grooterivier in die Roggeveld. Op 21 Junie 1756 kry hy die weiregte Groote Klavervalley (tans omgeving 'Malmesbury').

Biography (English)

Gaele Andries was born around 1705, Veenwouden, Friesland. [8] First mention of 'Geele Andriesz van der Walt' is in the journal of Huis te Assenburg (1726; 1727): 'Geelis Andriesz ... Veenewoude' ; in the marriage register of 1742 (16th November) he is called 'Geele Andriess van der Wald': "Geele Andriesse van der Wald, Quartier-meester in Dienst van ’t Compagnie jongman met Johanna Weijers van Cabo de Goede Hoop, jonge dogter". Elsewhere his name is written as "Geele Andriess, Andries van der Walde"[9] As was the patronymic custom in those days, his surname indicated him to be the son of Geele - Geele Andriesz - as in Geele son (zoon) of Andriesz. In the ship journal (Huis te Assenburg) he is noted as coming from Veenewoude or Feanwâlden - as the west-Frisian town of Veenwouden was called in that period.[10][11]
The surname van der Walt does not refer to a forest or a wood (walt / wald / walde / wolde / woud) as genealogists and biographers mistakenly thought in the past. The name Veenewoude / Feanwâlden actually has nothing to do with wood or forest - it refers to the town that was the outcome of the administrative unification ["wouden"] of two previously separated villages on hills (terpen) in flat, peaty surroundings.[12] On arrival at the settlement at the Cape, Gaele Andriesz had to state where he was from, and he must have said 'van Feanwâlden'. Moreover, just outside of Veenwouden there is a very small village called Feanwâldsterwâl where many of his ancestors and siblings were born, married and died. It is quite possible that the difficult pronouncement of this name was partly the reason that it was misunderstood when registering in the Cape and the surname was morphed into 'Van der Walt'.[13]

Marriage

Married 16 Nov 1742 [18] in Stellenbosch, Cape Colony [18] to Johanna Weyers, 18th daughter of Heinrich Weyers van Eppe (Germany) [19] and Anna Elizabeth Gerrits, by Ref. (ds.) Wilhelm van Gendt in Stellenbosch.
16 November 1742 marriage entry [20]

Events

Homestead.
"I was related to your aunt Selena who died," said Tant Sannie. "My mother's step-brother's child was married to her father's brother's step-nephew's niece." "Yes, aunt," said the young man, "I know we were related ..." - Olive Schreiner (1855-1920) {Olive Schreiner (Schreiner-262)} from "Tant Sannie Holds An Upsitting, and Gregory Writes A Letter" ["The Story of an African Farm"] [21]
5 July 1706: Marriage of Zacharia Jans {Visser}, widow of Diederik Pötter {Putter} (from Zierenberg) to 2nd husband Andreas Krügel (from Tennenlohe). [21] Prior to her 2nd marriage she shacks up with the unmarried Cape-born Johannes Basson (legitimate son of Arnoldus Willemsz Basson (from Wesel) aka Jaght by his wife the famous freed slave woman Maaij Ansela van Bengale whose voorzoon is the slave-born, executed, halfslag free-burgher Jantje van As) & mothering an illegitimate, politically troublesome, [grand?]son (Arnoldus Johannes Basson). [21]
Also noteworthy, is the collective role - a veritable family affair - played by her many legitimate (Putter / Krügel) & illegitimate (Basson) offspring & relatives by marriage in supporting Estienne Barbier [22] - executed rebel or ‘social bandit’. [21] Historians overlook this very important aspect of his rebellion. These related 'rebels' are listed by name [21]:
Hendrik Krügel; Lodewyk Putter; Frans Campher; Arnoldus Johannes Basson; Hendrik Ras; Jan Olivier; Sybrand van Dyk {?} & Johannes Ras.
Significantly, some again undertake (1738) an illegal expedition (punitive raid?) to the !Ariep [Gariep or Orange River] – with Willem van Wyk [‘Willem Namaqua’] - notorious cultural broker who ‘goes native’ undertaking the Nama ‘t Kammi (urination or ‘golden shower’ initiation ceremony aka "pisplechtigheid") [21]:
Lodewyk Putter, Hendrik Ras, Matthys Willemsz {?}, Jacob Swart {?}, Frans Campher, Andries van der Walt, Sybrand van Dyk {?}, Augustus LOURENS & Jan GOUS - Servants of Hendrik Krügel.
Historians, sensing that the people supporting Barbier are a “closely related group”, however, eschew exploring more fully the actual family ties:
Lodewyk Putter, Arnoldus Johannes Basson & Hendrik Krügel are all half-brothers - being sons of Johannes Coenraedsz Visser (from Ommen) aka Grof’s legitimate daughter Zacharia Jans Visser. Their mother, 1st marries hunter Diederik Putter, but subsequently when widowed, has an illegitimate son by mesties burgher Johannes Basson & then marries colonist Andreas Krügel. Hendrik Ras & Johannes Ras, in turn, are step-uncles to the 3 afore-mentioned half-brothers, being brothers to their stepmother Maria Ras, 2nd wife to Andreas Krügel after the death of his 1st wife Zacharia Jans Putter, née Visser. Jan Olivier is brother-in-law to Arnoldus Johannes Basson whose wife is his sister. Sybrand van DYK is 1st cousin to Jan Olivier & to Arnoldus Johannes Basson's wife Catharina Olivier.

My gevolgtrekking is dus dat GA waarskynlik in die nuwe begraafplaas in die Kaap begrawe is waarna voetnota 1390 verwys. Die begraafplaas was op die hoek van Buitenkantstraat en Somersetweg. Met geboue wat later daar gebou is, is die beendere opgegegrawe em elke liggaam se beemdere is in ‘n aparte houer geplaas. As ek die syfer onthou ongeveer 3 000. Die houers is in ‘n groot vertrek geplaas en is toegesluit. My vermoede is dat GA se beendere in een van die 3 000 ongeïdentifiseerde houers is.

False Error:

Warning: Check the data.

A father's death date (Andriesz-6 died 2 Mar 1757) should not be more than nine months before one of his children's birth dates (Van der Walt-2581 born 13 Nov 1776) - latter is the date of baptism, not of the birth!

Geni is falsifying history here: Geni > Andries van der Walt ca 1680 - ca 1755 {etc} - the surname van der Walt only came into being after Gaele Andriesz set foot on land in the Cape. It is a lie that van der Walt's can be found right up to the late middle ages in Friesland.

What a beautiful profile, well documented and beautifull pictures.

I came acros this profile because the location of birth gives an error on the word 'Probably'. However I don't dare to change it, but maybe there's someone of your team that could remove the word 'probably' in order to solve the '601 Wrong word in birth location'.

Thank you
