Note: As surnames were not fully established at that time, Lammert/Lambert was only known by his patronym (Lammertsz = Lammerts zoon = son of Lammert), with variations in spelling such as Lambert. The fact that they gave their sons the surname Meijburg is indicative of the fact that his family name was probably this, but as yet no baptism or other record has been found to verify this. The name and spelling as written on the baptism of their second son, and first child born in the Cape, has been adopted, with the other variations given as aliases.

The following summary includes work done by P.A. Myburgh (Philippus Albertus Myburgh) in his book Die Myburghs van Suid-Afrika, 1st & 2nd ed. (hereafter referred to as MSA) as well as from websites mentioned below.

According to an article written by PA Myburgh in the journal Familia, 1969, no.1, the land transaction mentioned below refers to "Lambert Lambertz van Broekemeer". Broekemeer. Broekemeer was the name of the lake area around Broek, a small northern Netherlands town near Amsterdam, now Broek in Waterland (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broek_in_Waterland), built on reclaimed land which was settled before 1400. It is not far from the historic town of Purmerend (home town of Aaltje), both of which are now part of the Waterland region (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterland_(regio)).
The article (as reproduced below from the Hanekom site) goes on to say, "It is remarkable that in the first fifty years of settlement [at the Cape] there is only one other free burgher from Broek, viz. the arquebusier on the ship Dordrecht, Willem Schalk van der Merwe, father of the Myburgh SM, Elsje van der Merwe." It also suggests that they probably left from the harbour of Buiksloot (https://goo.gl/maps/NUbmATFpJkM2 now reclaimed land in north Amsterdam), which is recorded as the birthplace of first son Jan, and baptism records from the Buiksloot church have been found for both Jan and a second son, Albert, who must have died young.
MSA 2nd ed. says that he was a farmer in Holland and became a military captain with the VOC in the Cape from 1667. So their departure date can be estimated to be about 1665-7, after the birth of first son Jan. According to the Stamouers entry (see below) by Freek Myburgh, one of the Myburgh board members owns the Lambert Lambertz Jacket which he wore during his office as a captain of the government (Kompanje), as well as the seal ring, wallet and belt and footbag. This confirms that Lambert was in the employ of the VOC, but it is not clear exactly when he became a "free burgher".
The first mention of Lambert is in a property transaction T128 recorded in the Deeds Office on 26 June 1671, when he bought a house and garden in "Tafelvalley" (Table Valley - the area in front of Table Mountain) from Jacob Rosendael (http://www.e-family.co.za/ffy/g7/p7897.htm).
According to the Familia article by PAM mentioned above, "Akteskantoor Tl28 26 Junie 1671: Jacob Rosendaal verkoop aan Lambert Lambertz van Broekemeer ‘n sekere huis en tuin in ,,Tafelvalley” teenaan die tuin van Claas Jacobsen, van Meldorp, en teenoor die huis van Francois Champelaar."
(It was mentioned elsewhere on Geni that this property may have been called Oranjezicht, but there does not appear to be any evidence of this. That property is known for having been in the van Breda family for many generations, starting with Pieter, but this history of the land only goes back as far as 1709: http://www.ozcf.co.za/about/history/ and this site says the first owner, Souillier or Soulli, was a Huguenot: http://mysite.mweb.co.za/residents/jthorpe/GwenFagan.htm.)
The second mention is at the baptism of Albert on 1 May 1672 (estimated 3 years after his birth, based on later records).
The third mention is on a debenture record in the Deeds Office (Akteskantoor 85.5) on 17 August 1672. This showed that he promised to pay Jacob Rosendael (Jacob Cornelis Rosendael, SV/PROG) in the following year, 1673, when the Batavian fleet returned to Table Bay. (This was commonplace in those days for large payments.)
In the 1672 Cape Muster Roll, the couple is listed as “Lambert Lambertsen en Aeltje Alberts”. https://www.eggsa.org/sarecords/index.php/muster-rolls/cape-archive...
In the 1673 Cape Muster Roll, the family is listed as “Lambert Lamberts en Aeltje Hendricks 2 k.” https://www.eggsa.org/sarecords/index.php/muster-rolls/cape-archive...
A record in the Deeds Office dated 11 October 1672 (Akeskantoor - T131) shows that Gerrit Janz “d’Boer” of Wynegom (Gerrit Jansz) lived on the property next to Lambert’s, which he had bought with Olof Bergh (Capt. Oloff Martini Bergh, SV/PROG).
Janz married Lammert’s widow, Aeltje, on 29 October 1673, so Lammert must have died before then.
According to an article on the Colonial Voyage website (http://www.colonialvoyage.com/dutch-south-africa/#): After the departure of Jan van Riebeeck a period of confusion began in the colony: During the first ten years 4 governors were appointed and after this started the war with France.... In 1672 the white population was less than 600 souls, of whom only 64 were male free-burghers... In 1679 the colony had 289 Europeans of whom 142 were free-burghers and 191 slaves.

http://hanekom.org/webtrees/note.php?nid=NI2523* Lambert Lambertz Myburgh (sy vader was dus ook Lambert) was van die klein Noord Nederlandse dorpie Broek, nou Broek in Waterland. Die Broekemeer is in 1624 "drooggemalen" en verdeel in klein plasies. Sy vrou Aaltje Alberts was van die geskiedkumlige ou stad Purmerend aand die Purmermeer, beide plekke naby Amsterdam. Dit is merkwaardig dat in die eerste vyftig jaar van die nedersetting daar net een ander vryburger van Broek gekom het, nl. die haakbusskutter op die skip Dordrecht,Willem Schalk van der Merwe, stamvader en vader van die Myburgh moeder, Elsje van der Merwe.Die hawe waarvan die ouerpaar met hul oudste seuntjie die vaderland verlaat het was heel moontlik Buicksloot, ook naby Amsterdam. Later met die seun se tweede huwelik in 1699 wordhy aangeteken as ,,van Buicksloot". Die jaar van hul vertrek is onbekend, maar dit was wel tussen 1665 en 1669, want in 1669 was hul aan die Kaap met die geboorte van die tweede seun. Die ouer seun was in Nederland gebore omtrent 1665, daar hy in 1686 as mondige vir die eerste keer op die Monsterrol verskyn.Die huis en tuin wat Lambert Myburgh van Jacob Rosendaal in 1671 gekoop het was naby die Kasteel en erwe van twee bekende fìgure, die Sweed Olof Bergh en die Belg Francois Champelaar.

Note: He was only ever documented as "Lammert Lammertz" (Lammert, son of Lammert), never with the surname Meijburgh (or any variant thereof). His two sons who survived to adulthood, Jan and Albert, are recorded as having the surnames Meijburgh and Meijburg respectively, and their children each took their forms of the name.

Lambert Lambertz Mijburgh, Lambert Lambertz c. 1638, was van Leydendorp, Holland, die eerste Meijburg wat aan die Kaap geland het ongeveer 1665 - 1666, met sy vrou Aletta Abertsz c. 1640 van die geskiedkundige stad Purmerend aan die Purmermeer naby Amsterdam, en hulle oudste seun Jan Lambertz Meijburg c. 1658. Die hawe van waar hulle hulle Vaderland verlaat het was Buicksloot.[3] Lambert Lambertz Meijburg koop sy huis en tuin in Tafelvalley van Jacob Rosendaal in 1671 [4][3] Een van die Myburgh Raadslede besit die Baadjie van Lambert Lambertz wat hy gedra het tydens sy amp as kaptein in diens van die owerheid (Kompanje) asook ook die seëlring, beursies en gordel en skoengespes.[3] Lambert Lambertz is oorlede vroeg 1673 en sy vrou het dadelik weer in die huwelik getree met Gerrit Janz, haar ongetroude buurman, op die 29 Okt 1673. Volgens navorsing het hulle nie kinders van hulle eie gehad nie.[3] Jan Lambertz Meijburg b. 1658 oorlede 19 Aug 1751 x met Anna Maria de Laar van Amsterdam (Maria sterf c. 1697). Tussen sy eerste vrou se afsterwe in 1697 en tot en met sy tweede huwelik met Sophia Zank in 1699, was hy op sy eie en alleen, en het hy 'n verhouding aangegaan met Lysbeth van Wyk, van onbekende afkoms, en 'n dogter is uit die verhouding gebore. Die kind was gedoop 2 Maart 1699 en sy was genoem Aeltje.[3] xx15 Maart 1699 met Sophia Zank en sy is oorlede 22 Jul 1747. Die Sondagmiddag van 15 Maart 1699 tydens die huwelik in die Grootte Kerk het die Dominie (Ds Petrus Kalden) nie opgedaag nie, en moes die diens deur die sieketrooster, Albert Koopman, waargeneem word. Hy was nie gemagtig om huwelike te voltrek nie en die wewenaar en die bruid moes maar die aand apart deurbring. Maandag kon Jan dit nie meer verduur nie, en het hy Goeweneur Van der Stel gaan spreek. Hy het intussen verneem dat Ds. Kalden en Van der Stel die vorige middag saam in die Kompanjestuin " gediventeer " het. Van der Stel het toe spesiale toestemming gegee dat die trouery kon plaasvind die aand van Dinsdag 17 Maart 1699. En so het dit toe gebeur, maar wat die Maandagaand gebeur het, weet niemand tot vandag toe nie. Ons kon nog sovêr Jan Lambertz se nageslag net opspoor tot by die laaste manlike Johannes Albertus ged. 26 Mei 1754 en hy is deur sy vader Albert Janz onterf in sy testament (No 50 - 20 Des 1778 ) Van Johannes Albertus na sy vader se dood is nog niks verder gevind nie.[3] https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lammertz-2
