The mark describes the person, not the link. Of the 7 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.

    From george booyze. There is a lot of gaps in the family history we have no info about , my dad never really talked about these things , did however mention the Andries Pretorius connection , and that our grandfather was quite musical and could play a number of instruments - why my dad was not in the photo , he spoke once of him working for a construction company up in Africa and when he got paid took uncle Piet and some Abraham Kriel boys on a trip to St Lucia , that must have been an adventure , those days there were no infrastructure there

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 →

Others of the same name

These parishes repeat their names relentlessly — 94 Marijas and 88 Ivans in this archive alone. These are different people, kept apart on purpose rather than merged into one. Merging on a name is exactly how this tree came to hold a man born after his own granddaughter.
