According to his Baptism Record, he was "Casper" (with a "e" in the second syllable.)

Death Notice: KAB MOOC 6/9/105 799 (1863), according to which he was 82 years of age when he died. Presumably, this is an error?

Hi Marinda Botha,
Re. Smart Match between a Geni profile and your tree on MyHeritage, on the profile of Casper van Zijl.

You have a birthdate of May 26 1781 on your record - do you have a source for this date? It is not given on the bapt. record.

My reference point Casper van Zyl
