The mark describes the person, not the link. Of the 4 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.

  • event
    Ricardo never said any harsh things about his brother Luis, but he did admit he had always been a difficult person, who also due to the fall out became very enbittered and unforgiving.
  • event
    Ricardo went to stay with the mayor of Stellenbosch when he went to Stellenbosch university to study chemistry before the war. The mayor was Afrikaans and he was family of Gavin Knott. So, no, our Grandfather was not against Afrikaans at all. He was also very well politically connected which included Africans.
