Biography

Notice

In the past there might have been a conflation / confusion of/between two Maria Elisabet Joost [van de Caep] profiles. One set of information suggests that she was an orphan girl from the Netherlands (primary sources are still needed to validate this suggestion), another suggests that she was from the Cape. Evidence for the last is much more clear. The baptism (for the Maria from the Cape) states van de Caep (= Cape Born) and slave at the time of baptism. This rules out the other Maria Elisabeth [Jooste?] orphan girl from the Netherlands. As no father or mother names are mentioned in the baptism (she must already been a young girl and not an infant as she is called a "person" and baptized with the name Maria Elisab[eth] van de Caep. To avoid confusion with all the dozens of other Maria van de Caep profiles, and seeing that she was known mostly by the name of Jooste, it was suggested that we protect this profile with the last name of Jooste. ^[1]

VC 603 is a photocopy made during the 1980s of the original, made for the Sciences Research Council (HSRC) and a copy was donated to the South African Archives, a copy going to the Cape Town repository and to the Pretoria Repository (where it is part of the FC series). The original register is now housed in the Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerkargief, Noordwal-Wes, Stellenbosch, as G1 1/1. The transcription was originally made in 2006 by Richard Ball. Corrections were received from Delia Robertson and Alwyn Smit and Corney Keller had now completely revised and amended the original transcript (February 2012). There are no doubt still mistakes, both of typing and transcription, but they are much fewer. We will be pleased to receive any suggestion for corrections.
