Posted by Chimichunga in Mundia ( Ancestry.com) Gee sy voornaam ook as Gerrit of Gerd Engelbrecht. Hy was oorspronklik van Norden in Oos-Friesland afkomstig. Die stamvader het egter na homself in dokumente verwys as Geurt Engelberts. Daar is vasgestel dat daar wel 'n familie in Oos-Friesland was met hierdie familienaam en daar was wel persone met die voornaam Gerd. Die vraag of die familie Engelberts en die familie Engelbrecht wel dieselfde familie is.Op 8 Augustus 1733 het Geurt Engelberts aan boord die Castricum as matroos in diens van die VOC, vertrek vanaf Texel na Batavia. Amper drie en 'n half maande later, gooi die skip anker in Tafelbaai op 26 November 1733. Gedurende die reis het Geurt siek geword en kon nie die reis voltooi na Batavia nie. So het Geurt Engelberts in Suid-Afrika beland. Hy word later transportryer en skrynwerker. In 1737 was hy 'n wadrywer, plaashandlanger vanaf 1740 tot 1756. In 1756 verkry hy burgerregte en word sodoende 'n vryburger. Hy is getroud met Catharina Elizabeth DE JONGH, d.v. Krelis Cornelisz DE JONGH en Elisabeth KOBBESZ, in Paarl op 17.10.1745.
