Rembrance Controversy

Krotoa - her blood flows in the veins of thousands
"The benches were at Krotoa Place, the small square at the intersection of Castle Street and St George’s Mall." [4]
How many people are aware that this very site adjoins the original grant of land given to the freed private slave, Angela / Engela (Maaij Ansela) van Bengale aka Moeder Jagt, who later married the free-burgher Arnoldus Willemsz Basson (from Wesel in the Duchy of Cleves)? [4]
She has the distinction of being the 4th slave to be formally freed at the Cape of Good Hope, the 1st slave woman to be freed without being legally bound to a man & the 1st woman to be granted land in her own right ... [4]
... the erf was granted (25 February 1667) & later transferred (1718) by Moeder Jagt to the husband, Gijsbert le Febre (1690-1743/4) from Overchie, of her granddaughter Catharina van der Sande (born 1700) ... being the maternal grandparents of the Leiden University-educated opperhoofd Gijsbert Hemmij (1746-1798) who died at Kakegawa in Shizuoka, Japan ...

    With reference to Ronel (van Heerden) Olivier comment below: http://huguenots-france.org/france/refuge/afrique_sud/embarques.htm has this entry:

    LE FEBURE Guillaume VAN DER ZANDE Catharina 27/03/1712 FLEURBAIX FLANDRES 1683 ? Fleurbaix-Stellenbosch (Column titles are: Surname, Name, Spouse Surname, Spouse Name, Date of Marriage, Town or place left, Date of Arrival, )

    it has Guillame married to Catharina van der Zande

    Therefore I would say that Le_Fèbre-70 and Le_Febre-69 need to be merged.

    Le Febre-19 and Le Febre-69 appear to represent the same person because: Same data (name, ppouse etc.) Le_Febre-69 has the correct spelling of the LNAB and should be the target profile to merge into. I'll do the bio-cleanup.

    Pierre le Fébre PROG Le_Fébre-56 Did not have a son called Gysbert The son that arrived with his parants in 1683 was called Guillaume See Le_Fèbre-42 and Le_Febre-64
    Johan, please comply with the spelling of the LNAB (last names at baptism) according to the Dutch, Huguenot and South African convention - lower case 'v'and 'd' for van der (and other suffixes). It will help enormously in keeping the immense amount of work in this project down to a minimum.
