Gerrit Matthys Nel, b8c1d2e4

GISA's SAG CD Vol. 6 provides duplicated and erroneous information pertaining to Gerrit Matthys Nel (b8c2d3e4) and Gerrit Matthys Nel (b8c1d3e2) (this profile).

The marriage with Christina Alida Strauss (as per SAG) is highly problematic, in my opinion. His Death Notice makes no reference to such a marriage. Also, in the time-line of his life events such a marriage cannot seem to "fit in".

Death Notice: KAB MOOC 6/9/66 2554 (1854), which lists his wife as "Wylen Geertruida Margrita Coetze", and children as follows,

PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT FOLLOW GISA's INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THIS PERSON.

GISA's SAG CD Vol. 6 provides duplicated and erroneous information pertaining to Gerrit Matthys Nel (b8c2d3e4) (this profile), much of which actually refers to Gerrit Matthys Nel (b8c1d3e2). See the latter profile for additional detail.

The Death Notice of Hendrina Cecilia Steenkamp (e4) does not provide evidence for the Nel - Steenkamp marriage.

Sy was wel die weduwee van GM Nel toe sy met CJHL Steenkamp in 1830 getroud is. (F Beukes 28.2.2023)
