At least 68 profiles are on the page for 18 Feb 2024 Challenge to remove incorrect reference tags. This was just for the years 1700 to 1799. I corrected one Linde-202, but I am not sure if I should continue. Can you provide additional information?
Hi Patricia. I had a look at the changes you made to Linde-202 and decided to restore it to the prior version, as your changes went well beyond merely correcting an incorrect reference tag. As you may have seen, all the South African profiles between 1700-1799 form part of the COGH Project and we do have specific requirements in terms of names, the Bio etc.

I suggest don't go any further with the other profiles, but I'm happy to have a look at them if you can point me to the page for the 18 Feb Challenge.

Regards, Andre Laubscher Co-Leader COGH Project

Good Day,

I note the following duplications that I think need to be merged:

Grobbelaar-162 and Grobbelaar-647 Gildenhuijsen -19 and Geldenhuys-678

These two people were husband and wife

Good day

My ancestor Alberts-1991 seems to be related to Alberts-49. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VRL9-LWM.

Please confirm this for me.

Hello, can someone help me please. I am dyslexic and have great difficulty following forms. My Great Grandfather was Jan Hendrik Delport b 24 10 1877 Grahamstown married 11 06 1963 in Pretoria to Hendrina Johanna Brits b 8 08 1888 in Heidelburg who died 31 05 1949 Pretoria. I am searching for the family branch of Hendrina Johanna Brits. I may be wrong but I think her mother could have been Dina Carolina Brits and her father, Christian Pieter Brits. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thank you very much for your help.
