Hi Deidre,
I have merged him into the World Tree for you. I have also created a project for Sand River Convention. I hope to add all the profiles as mentioned in Reitz's book to that project (both Brit and Boer).
I did notice that there was a mistake on the World Tree re: Johannes Hendrik Visagie's wife's parents. I have started a discussion to correct it.
At present they have Schalk Willem Petrus Burger, c2d9e1 and Elsje Sophia Burger, b12c11d8 as her parents, however I believe her correct parents are Barend Frederik Burger and Hester Sophia Burger.
Regards,
Drummond
FYI this would correct the tree as far as the mtDNA is concerned as there are two mtDNA samples in this line, both K1a-T195C! which we have confirmed leads to Sarah Barentsz Cochet, SM/PROG at the Cape Dutch DNA project.
