Research Notes

There appears to be an error on his baptism record. He was baptized on 2 Oct 1788, but then states that he was born on 22 Nov 1788, which of course is impossible. I am assuming he was born on 22 Nov of the previous year. [6]

Petzer-295 and Pietser-1 are not ready to be merged because: Same name for siblings, born a year apart looks strange.

I think there are two couples with similar names - Jacobus Hendricus (snr?) married to Maria Cornelia Fourie and Jacobus Hendrik also married to a Maria Cornelia Fourie. So far no probate records to help us out…

Petzer-295 and Pietser-1 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicates. The baptism record is confusing. He was baptised on 2 Oct 1788, born 22 Nov, presumably 1787, but is written AO 1788.

Hi Guy, Johan, could you also add the project profile (wikitree-cape-of-good-hope-projectATgooglegroups.com) as active manager (add to trusted list, save, then activate, then save again) to this profile, please? As soon as the LNAB has been validated with a [transcription of a] baptism [image], we will have this profile Project Profile Protected).

Baptism record is here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSV8-W9WG-Y

It lists the date of baptism as 2-Oct, and the year is 1788, found from prior pages. The date of birth is listed as 22-Nov-1788, but this is probably an error and should be 1787.
