According to new evidence I found in Barry Krugers- DIe Kruger familie van Suid Afrika - pa 21 states - it is in Afrikaans and German but I will try my best.
Mr Arthur Conrad Forste from Moisburg in West Germany wrote a letter to the RGN - in Afrikaans mind you.
The only mistake I could find in the SA publications was the surname of Jacob Kruger's mother.He started with the 1750 registers and found the following inscription.
1. Jacob Kruger were born on 28/7/1690 and baptised on 1/8/1690 in Brandenburg.
Further on it says-
" The surname of Jacob Kruger mother was not HARTWIG but PeRMOLLER. ' (sic).
That he found in the "aantekening" when she died and it states-
"1747 7. den 24 Dec., Elisabeth Permollers, Frantz Krugers Wittwe 82Jahr alt gestorwen u. den 31 begraben cum conc. funebr."
I will try English as it is only translated into Afrikaans.
"Nr. 7. On the 24th December 1747, Elisabeth Permollers (genitive of the female surname of Permoller) widow of Frantz Kruger, 82 years old, died and was buried on 31 Dec. with (lyksrede).
AS reason for this mistake he states that with the baptism of 6th child, Lisebet of Frantz and Elisabeht, the 1st witness was and godfathers was a certain Hartwig Permoller, maybe a family member of the mother.
I will change it to that adding the link to the message.
