Good day Sharon,

According to Izaak's DN his parents are Schalk Willem and Anna Christina Visagie, thus Schalk (1781 - 1854).

Izaak's date of birth, however, cannot be 1802, as calculated from the DN info, as his sister Maria was also born in 1802, with proof per baptism record. I cannot find any other information on Izaak's dob, but would assume it should be 1803 instead.

Regards
Frans

Thanks for checking and fixing, Frans.

Could they have been twins?

I don't think so. If twins, they would have been baptised together / same day. 0nly Maria was baptised on 29 Aug 1802 at the Swartland church.

I agree. Please change to what you think is appropriate.
