Geldenhuys Genealogy 12 Generations he had a twin brother
e3 Jurgen Johannes ~ 8.4.1776 x 21.9.1800 Elizabeth Luytje SWART
f1 Jurgen Johannes ~ 12.9.1802 † young (twin)
f2 Johannes Joachimus ~ 12.9.1802 † Heidelberg 20.2.1874 (70.5. -)(Gerhard Geldenhuys records state * 17.2.1804 † 20.2.1874 – and this family kept the surname spelling as Gildenhuys) x Swellendam 5.11.1826 Sara Johanna KLEYNSMIT * 1805 †
AND a later brother by the same name:
f3 Jurgen Johannes ~ 6.7.1806 x 5.11.1826 Dina Maria KLEYNSMIT xx Swellendam 23.11.1839 Elizabeth Catharina BLOEM
g1 Jurie Johannes Gildenhuys (ab6c4d2e3f3g1) * 14.9.1827 ~ Caledon 21.10.1827 x 13.9.1847 Jacoba Elizabeth DE JAGER * 22.8.1829 (ab9c3d4e5f1)
I am sceptical about the twin story. Yes, there was a Jurie Johannisbaptised in Swellendam on 12 Sep 1802 (which might be this guy, but he did not die young), but there is no indication at that baptism that there was a twin. The baptism record of this profile, Johannes Jochemus clearly states that he was born 17 Jan 1804.
Bingo, Riël, about the twin theory! The 1802 baptism you found of a Jurie/Jurgen Johannes to me clarifies the picture about Johannes Jochemus having had a deceased-young older brother and why a subsequent brother was given the same names. Thanks!
