Update

Have I been doing it wrong? Eish!

:-) I doubt it. This is a new update - after a lengthy discussion about what to do with male progenitors who didn't have a descendant line of their surname. There were only one or two examples, though.

I was just going to ask about that Sharon Doubell: If two brothers immigrated to South Africa, and both had descendants to present day, which one is designated SV/PROG. From what you say here, only the older of the two?

SV/PROG 1 and SV/PROG 2

I missed the discussions, Sharon. Can you pse direct me to the updates mentioned above in the project body text?
I might also help if you could just take us through the argument steps to get from the opening post to the answer of : SV/PROG 1 and SV/PROG 2

Are you referring to historic discussions Sharon or is this something I have also missed?

I don't know guys - something from 2016.

I have very little experience, being new to this but have picked up on this coding system from hits to this site an others. Just a question because its been bothering me (probably been asked already), but if two brothers arrive in South Africa like the de Villiers brothers for example, is their father not the actual stamvader even though he never actually came here?
