The mark describes the person, not the link. Of the 2 relatives drawn here, 0 have a document of their own in this archive — but that is not the same as a document tying them to this person. This archive holds no separate proof for most parent–child links; where it does, the note above this chart says so in words.

Where this sits in the family

Not on the direct line. They are published because they belong to one of the eight surnames this archive follows.

The register spells this surname more than one way, and the search folds the forms together — so Xubrinich and Žubrinić, Joannis and Ivan, find each other.

    e: Arrival 1685. Settled in the Drakenstein valley in 1691. His children without exception left the Drakenstein and settled in the Swellendam / Cape Province / South Africa district, though it is especially his eldest son, Gerhardus' descendants who were at the forefront of the trek deeper into the interior. Some of their descendants already reached Graaff-Reinet before the end of the 18th century and thus became part of the Great Trek.

An online family tree is a witness, not a source. Where a citation points at a parish register or a FamilySearch image, that is the thing worth going to. Sources →
