Research Notes

  • The SAG Families Register incorrectly lists his marriage date as 26.2.1738. It also incorrectly lists the marriage to Sophia (Feijte) van Rooyen as the second marriage of Jacobus (Bota) Botha (bef.1717-1787).[1] The marriage record clearly states that he was a "J. M" (jong man) and that he was Jacobus de jonge, which confirms the marriage to this Jacobus.[3]
  • Possibly married Magdalena (Munniks) Bota (abt.1700-) in 1751[4]

Two brothers - Theunis (1686) and Jacobus (1692) - married two sisters - Maria Magdalena Snijman (1693) and Elsij Snijman (1697). Their sons, both named Jacobus, were both christened (gedoopt) on the same day.

Why is there so much conflation of details between Jacobus Botha and Jacobús Bota / Botha? Is there the possiblity that they are one and the same person? Why the same date of baptism, and Snijman as family? They do have different fathers; is there an explaination for this?

I have been requested to make the LNAB as Bota. I do not feel I have sufficient knowledge as to which surname is the LNAB - Both, Bota, Boota. I am also not sure as to when the name changed from Both to Bota to Boota to Botha; nor how to show this. Please advise. Mary Rudd
