André Laubscher

Hi Andre

My ancestors were one of the 50 slave families that Gustav Zahn gave occupational rights to reside at Steinthal, Tulbagh. In my research, i discovered the "Doop and Lidmaat Register 1817 - 1889 for the Tulbagh Zending Genootschap under Arie Vos and Gustav Zahn on Familysearch.org but it is not indexed - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6LR9-BHC?wc=M646-868%3A13850901%2C13850902%2C29796701%2C29796702&cc=1392488. All the births of the Zahn family are captured.

Hi Andre,

I'm working on a website for Riebeek Valley Heritage (rvheritage.co.za) and I'm looking for more info about the Laubschers during their time in the valley.

I'm researching Nicolaas Laubscher in particular https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lopser-1#_ref-MELT_0

Do you know which land and farms he owned in the valley, and what he was up to? Who inherited his estate? Was it Sophia Basson?

Thanks!

Good day Andre..how do I go about to obtain a badge to become a member..my interests are Woest familymembers of Gert Heinrich Woest. He was born in Ösnabruck Germany and came to SA as an immigrant. I am at a dead-end regarding his parents, grand parents and great grandparents in Germany. I have tried to search records in Germany but didn't find anything. Would appreciate any help or guidance where to search for such old records. Kind regards. Terecia

Hi Andre,

I am fairly new to WikiTree. I only joined last year and have not done much on it. I came across the COGH Stamouer-Progenitor Project, and your name as the profile manager and the family tree of August Wilhelm Friedrich Ancelius Ferdinand Gnade quite by accident. It is quite impressive.

My interest in it is that my maternal great grandmother was a Genade. I have very little on her, and nothing about her ancestors.

I have a few questions to ask you if you don't mind.

1. Would it be correct to say that all Genades in South Africa are descended from August's young son Johan Christoffel (Gnade) Genade rather than his first son Johan Hendrik Gnade, because of the change in the spelling. 2. Or is it known if there were other Genades that came to South Africa in the years after August, so that some of the Genades are descended from them.

I did a search for the number of people with the surname Genade, and there are about 740 in South Africa, and only about 24 in other parts of the world. I am, not sure how up-to-date or accurate this is. This seems to point to the fact that all Genades are descended from the young son. There are also a number of other variations of the surname.

3. Do you know of a website or group, who may be involved in the Genade Family Tree, or is this the most complete family tree about.

Thanks.

Regards, Chris Pryde.

Hi André, I will make sure I reed the rules, I have already been looking at some names that match my research and have been able to add new details and family members. I have family connections to the Netherlands and many links to VOC. My first family link was Thomas Le Breton who settled in Cape Town after his military service (88 Long Street was his last address and his profession was brewer). Another name of interest is Matthew Adams, he arrived in 1820 and was a clock maker (he installed the clock in the original St George church in Cape Town). Other names of interest: Botha, Venter, Van Der Ploy to name a few.

Good Day Andre, I wish to join the Dutch Cape Colony project. I moved to Langebaan, Western Cape from the UK and have been building my family tree for quite a few years and have now found several connections the the Early Dutch and English settlers to the Cape.

EK kontak jou rakende jou bydraes op https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Mulder-1316. Sal jy so gaaf wees en die WikiTree riglyne te volg soos uiteengesit hier. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:HTML_and_Inline_CSS met verwysing na https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Editing_Tips

Andre, baie geluk met jou Wiki Tree leierskap. Vele hande maak ligter werk.

Congratulations on your leadership badge André! You deserve it.

From your friends at the Appreciation Team:

Congrats on the Super Star Badge!

Hi André, in my text awarding you the green generous genealogist badge I wrote: "André more than deserves this badge. As research coordinator he takes care that the profiles in the Dutch Cape Colony project and the adjacent Progenitor project are well integrated and sourced. I trust him completely - he works diligently, neatly and above all - accurately. You are an asset André; many thanks for your quiet and unassuming role within this project and on WikiTree!" - not assuming. Apologies for the mistake.

Hi, André!

Thank you for your participation in October 2020’s Source-a-thon. Your contributions helped us to clear over 57,000 profiles that needed sourcing. This makes our Shared Tree all that much better.

Keep up the great work!

I want to congratulate you on your Generous Genealogist award you received on June 15, 2020.

John Williams

Johannes, I granded your request.

Groeten uit Nederland, greetings from the Netherlands.

Thank you Johannes for picking up on marriage date error on Van Dyk

Hi Johannes - congratulations on your coordinators bagde! Good to have you with us. You did an excellent job on Gosjens-1! I further organized the bio as an example for you … :-). Thanks!

Johannes, on the COGH (and PROG) profiles we do not apply the stickers added to the Dutch Roots Project. I removed

{ {Dutch Roots Sticker |jaar=1675 |provincie=Zuid-Holland} } from Van_der_Swaan-21.

Johannes, making more than one thousand contributions in September added so much to the breadth and depth of our Shared Tree. The Appreciation Team thanks YOU!

Johannes, your more than 1000 contributions for the month of August 2009 adds to the improvement of our Shared Tree. Thanks so much for all of your efforts.

Thank you very much for your input and help regarding  Kotze-313

I will look into this. hopefully today :-P  Warm regards R

Hi Johannes, please do not change the data of others in the biographies. This is tampering with information. For example here, on Loúbser-246 you removed : Place: [Cape Town] <ref name=ESME/> and added instead place: Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope <ref name=ESME/><ref name=BAP/> Which is untrue. The square bracketts indicate that Cape Town was called some thing different then. By removing it you are falsifying history (I know - not on purpose). And then you add the current day repository of the actual baptism as the place of baptism. Which might not have been Cape Town at all but for example Stellenbosch. Please just add information. Do as little editing and removal as possible. Always first go the the link provided and see what is there.

You'll have to re-add the marriage info. Thanks for that.

Nuwe nuus en hulp asseblief as jy kans sien

https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/896948/voortrekkers-se-name-wat-saam-met-dingaan-gesterf-het?show=896978#c896978 Gaan kyk gerus as jy belangstel in die Voortrekkers wat saam met Retief gesterf het

Johannes, I corrected your editing of the bio of Laubser-8. Please keep to the protocol of this project. We do not divorce sources from input. We add names. This in order to collate and validate in orderly fashion.

Hi Johannes, jy het gevra waarom Van_der_Nest-20 die template van gekry het en nie nie. Die rede is eenvoudig. Sy het getrou / het kinders gehad met 'n stamvader Wilken-29. Dit maak haar stammoeder.

Daar is nog 'n rede. Ons het gekies om onderskeid te maak tussen Stamouers en gewone Kaap geborenes in die periode 1652-1806. Dit is naamlik baie lastiger om Stamouers te valideer (die spelling van die vanne deur middel van primêre rekords soos doop rekords) as hulle kinders - die VOC en die mense in die Kaap het baie goeie rekords gehou.

'n Voorbeeld is van my eie stamvader Andriesz-6 wat 'n patroniem gehad het. Die van der Walt was 'n verkapte toponiem. Sien hierdie afbeelding.
