Communication Preferences:
I am interested in communicating 
with
anyone who shares the same genealogical or historical interests.
My family tree is here on WikiTree but it's private.
I am open to communication within the project[s] that I've worked in, and to issues relating to shared personal genealogies (I'm related as most South Africans from European descent are, to many of the same ancestors). I have though taken the decision not to work on project profiles anymore, for reasons of methodology. Due to constant duplication of existing pre-1800 profiles because of various understandable reasons, merely editing the bio's in a neat fashion is a recurring full-time day task. Even with an abundance of primary records, a 'sourced' profile does not guarantee valid research and accuracy. The changes tab is useless when a profile has been merged countless times (many times more than 5 to 10 times). Besides, it is not visible to those who are not logged into WikiTree.

Do join the conversation if you had family members that was involved in this battle
Warm regards Ronel [SA Roots leader]
I am in awe of your work. Well done. I am currently writing my family history into a novel. We are related in that:
Maria (Vitout) Noutier (1666-bef.1711) (your eighth great grandmother) is the sister to Sara Vitout who married Jacques de la Porte from whom I am directly descended. I am dyslexic and struggle with finding my way around the genealogy sites especially when dates or names don't match! Do you have any information on the sisters Maria and Sara. It appears there is a 19 year gap between the two of them which I find difficult to get my head around. I do hope you, or anyone else who reads this, will be able to help me out here. Wishing you all the best... Jacqueline
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, when the data is collated and not immediately narrated.
As with the rest of WikiTree, we value accuracy above all, and it we strive to attain that by working together in collaborative fashion (hence the names - easier for communication purposes).
As for your information on Maria (Vitout) Noutier (1666-bef.1711) and Sara (Vitout) de la Porte (1681-1724) ... could you provide your source[s]? Then we can collate the data and research further ....

Vriendelike groete, Corne
Thank you so very much for the suggested merge of Susanna Aletta Zondag/Otto and Michiel Otto 1783 and the completed merge of Susanna van Aswegen, Cornelia Viljoen/van Aschwede and Johannes van Aswegen/van Aschwede. I really appreciate the time that you put into all of this and checking that they are correct. Thank you for that. Kind Regards Hazel
You just completed a merge of Roeloff Cornelius Gideon Botha-5925 into Roelof Cornelius Gideon Botha-5458, thanks for this. However I was busy awaiting the merge of his mother first as per the merging instructions (I had just completed the father - so not to worry about that), would you pretty please now merge the mothers?
Thanking you kindly Pam
Can you checkout Vorster-172? He is his son and grandson to, evenso his wife is all the time the same person. Groetjes Herman

Ek het die profiel Van_der_Walt-2598 geskep omrede sy getroud was met ñ Gert Abraham Coetsee en ek was onder die indruk dat sy die eggenote was van Coetsee-787. Ek het toe later agter gekom dat sy met ñ ander Gert Abraham Coetsee getroud was omrede hulle nie dieselfde kinders gehad het nie, daarom het ek die twee geskei. Hoop dit is duidelik genoeg omskryf. Groete Peet
Thank you for your help and patience with my efforts. Your assistance is much appreciated
Inside the sanctuary of the church, there were many burial plots with markers engraved in the floor. I took several photos. I was wondering if some of these people could be ancestors of Wikitreers.
Any suggestions of where I might post these pictures of the church and markers on Wikitree so people might access them?
Regards, Amy Utting
Just reading some of the other comments here shows how much others appreciate your assistance. You are a superior WikiTreer.
