I'm always so excited to bump into another member searching for their South African roots that I just had to stop by and say hi!
Perhaps you would like to join the South African Roots Project? Besides links to sources, there are help pages that might also be useful. Many / most of the South African genealogical lines and profiles of the eighteenth and seventeenth periods (and earlier) have already been made. Many have also been validated with primary sources.
Thank you for all your fantastic contributions, we value every one. It would be awesome if you'd join us!
If you ever have any questions about how WikiTree works please don't hesitate to let me know.
Have a super evening...and I hope to bump into you again soon.

It is much easier validating profiles in a resources rich environment as the The Dutch Cape Colony Project and the South African Roots Project has.
In Afrikaans - ons moet vergelyk anders kan ons dit net so goed opgee ... want dit is 'n projek waar viral konteks (oor tien-duisende profiele) die naaste aan waarheid sal wees wat ons kan hê ....
Baie van ons gemeenskaplike voorouerprofiele is al aangemaak, jy hoef alleen jou eie lyn te koppel aan die naaste reeds bestaande nasaat van jou stamvader en al die ander Suid-Afrikaanse stamouers. WikiTree se doel is om slegs een profiel per persoon te hê. Dit beteken dat daar gekyk moet word of n profiel al reeds bestaan, voordat n nuwe een geskep mag word. Vir instruksies hoe om nie duplikate te skep nie: Duplicates. 1 tip om maklik te sien of 'n profile al bestaan, is om alleen die van te soek, en dan vervolgens te sorteer op jaar van geboorte, oudste boaan ("dense" versie). Wanneer jy naamlik met voorname ook soek, word alleen die eerste honderd getoon terwyl daar miskien 500 of 'n duisend name sal wees. Let viral op variaties in vanne - miskien het bestaan 'n profiel al met 'n ander variasie in die spelling. Dit is WikiTree beleid om die vanne (LastNameAtBaptism) presies so te spel soos op dit in die dooprekords staan. Dit is daarom belangrik om te let op die geldende konvensies / gebruike vir n land. In Suid-Afrika, Nederland en elders word die tussenvoegsel in vanne met klein letters gespel, tensy dit anders op die primêre rekords gespel word, byvoorbeeld van der Merwe, van der Walt, van den Berg, du Preez, de Villiers ens.
Vir die navorsing is dit belangrik dat jy jou bronne volledig volgens die reëls siteer as jy images oplaai en / of nuwe [nie reeds bestaande] profiele aanmaak, hetsy met verwysings of deur dokumente op te laai. Doop- of geboorterekords, sterftekennise, plekname, trouregisters ens. is vir almal binne die WikiTree gemeenskap belangrik en nuttig. Vir enige verdere hulp besoek gerus hierdie forum: G2G Help Ons help graag - moet nooit huiwer om te vra nie!
Now that you have had a little time to try our site, there are a few more features you may find useful:
For instance, ideas on what to include in a profile can be found in Styles and Standards; including some tips on writing biographies
Also a friendly reminder about adding sources and references to your profile. Sources are critically important for genealogy and you will be helping future genealogists by listing where the information you've added came from. This page describes different kinds of sources: http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sources
