Biography
Hendrik Adriaan Roets owned two farms, Cijferfontein and Zandfontein, which are now mostly submerged under the Vaal Dam. During the drought of 2016, the dam level dropped far enough to make the farm cemetery accessible again. [1]

Research Notes
The estate papers contain a renouncement of 500 morgen of the farm Weltevrede in the district Heilbron in favour of the estate by the youngest son Jacobus Hercules Roets of Hendrik Adrian Roets and Jacoba Dorothea du Preez [note difference from death notice in spelling of "Hercules" and "Adrian" and absence of "Christina"], declaring himself satisfied with inheriting the other 500 morgen including the farmstead.
