Profile category is "Needs Validation" & "Needs Transcription" - Which means the uploading of a baptism image (if possible), properly cited so that it will not cause copyright issues, and the full transcription [not only from FamilySearch itself] of the the baptism entry with LNAB (LastNameAtBaptism) to prove the spelling. The project profile (wikitrees-cogh-stamouer-progenitorATgooglegroups.com) has been added to the trusted list of this progenitor profile [Privacy Tab] and then also activated as active manager (though this progenitor profile still has to be validated with a [transcription of a] baptism [image]), and this profile has been Project Profile Protected). The bio has been been integrated as best possible for the time being. Primary records will probably still be around in archives in Europe and in the Netherlands.

↑Willem Adriaan van der stel succeeded his father, Simon van der Stel, as Governor of the Cape in 1699; Willem van der Stel abused his official position to corner an over-supplied market in farm produce. Van der Stel was jealous of Adam Tas's wealth and easy going life, and in 1706 he used his legal powers to arrest and imprison him. Tas became a Stellenbosch legend when he had this petition drawn up against incumbent Governor W.A. van der Stel and other farming officials. Tas and his fellow free burghers were protesting against the corruption and extravagant lifestyle of Van der Stel and the fact that abuse of power by officials led to unfair competition with burghers. The Tas petition was submitted to the Lords Seventeen, the governing body of the Dutch East India Company (VOC), in Amsterdam. The petition was rejected and on Sunday, 28 February 1706 Magistrate Starrenburg arrested Adam Tas. From documents in the desk of Tas, Van der Stel established the nature of complaints against him and also the names of the dissatisfied burghers. Though several more burghers were arrested and punished, they were victorious at the end, when the Lords Seventeen in October 1706 categorically prohibited officials to own land or to trade. His wife Elizabeth van Brakel tried hard to get him released; when Adam Tas was finally freed after thirteen months, he named his farm 'Libertas' (liberty). Van der Stel was recalled to the Netherlands in 1707.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Pierre by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Pierre:
Rousseau-1473 and Rousseau-476 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicates. Rousseau-476 already existed. Please merge. I'll do the final integration of the bio after the merge, thanks!
MALHERBE, J. Margaretha Joubert en die Rousseau-Familie in Bulletin 42, 2005. Hugenote-vereniging van Suid-Afrika.
According to the article Pierre had a daughter Regina with Elisabeth Rootsteen v.d.K. Baptised in Cape Town 9 December 1714. Abraham and Adriana Jacobs were godparents.
Rossouw-245 and Rousseau-476 appear to represent the same person because: Same data. Rousseau-476 has the (nearest to correct) French spelling of the LNAB.
Rosseau-40 and Rousseau-476 appear to represent the same person because: Rousseau would have most probably the nearest to correct French spelling of the LNAB; we have no original baptismal record but the baptismal records of his children all indicate that his name was spelled this way. Rousseau-476 should be the target profile to merge into.
Rosseau-6 and Rousseau-304 appear to represent the same person because: Proposal to merge Pierre Rosseau (Rosseau-6) and Pierre Rousseau (Rousseau-304) as they are indentical profiles. Sincerely, Philip van der Walt-440
