Profile category is "Needs Validation" & "Needs Transcription" - Which means the uploading of a baptism image, properly cited so that it will not cause copyright issues, and the full transcription of the the baptism entry with LNAB (LastNameAtBaptism) to validate the exact spelling in order for the profile te be Project Profile Protected (though this progenitor profile still has to be validated with a [transcription of a] baptism [image]), and [has been / will be] Project Profile Protected). The bio has been / will be integrated as best possible for the time being. Primary records will probably still be around in archives Germany and in the Netherlands.
Jan arrived at the Cape of Good Hope in 1725. He was a soldier for the Dutch East India Company. Later he became a "burger" and lived in Stellenbosch. He worked as a mason. [2]

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Jan by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Jan:
Removed { {Unsourced | Germany} } template (there are ample sources on this profile), keeping the [ [Category:Cape_of_Good_Hope_Project_Needs_Validation] ] category which is sufficient. Removed the { {German Roots Sticker} } (which is meant for more modern profiles) and replaced it with the category [ [Category:German Emigration to Cape of Good Hope] ], which serves the same purpose in this project.
Greyling-332 and Greyling-127 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate. Greyling-127 already existed. I'll do the final integration of the bio after the merge, thanks!

None of them was married to Jacomina Pelser.
I removed Pelser http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pelser-29 as wife
Please note that the place of birth and date of birth on this profile is incorrect and are exactly the same as Jan "Johann" Greyling aka Grijling, Greijling Born about 1706 in Linz, Saxony, Germany
Greyling is the correct husband of Jacomina Pelser daughter of Abraham Pelser .
Warning: Check the dates.

The husband Johann Bothma does not make sense. Is this a Spelling mistake or the wrong husband?
