Thank you for accepting me as a collaborator to this project. I am still new to working with projects and have a lot to learn.

Please could someone explain what the label SV/PRG2 means.

Wouter Mostert arrived in the Cape of Good Hope before 20 March 1656

He has two recorded children, both daughters, which would mean that he is a progenitor but not the start of a surname line.

His profile is labelled SV/PRG2

His brother Jan/Johannes Mostert arrived in the Cape of Good Hope before 20 March 1672

He has eleven recorded children, six of whom are sons , which would mean that he is a progenitor and the start of a surname line.

His profile is labelled SV/PRG

I would appreciate your input on whether the label SV/PRG2 for Wouter Mostert is correct.

Thanks Aletta, I agree that they both have their own branches of lineage (although they do have a common ancestor in their father).

My question is really what does the number 2 refer to- arrival date , date of first descendant or male vs female descendants.

I hope that was a little clearer?

no it is just to indentify them in lineage as the one most probably arrived before the other
