Death Notice

=========================Re: Matthys Johannes de Beer, a2b6c4d1==========================

This is a big mess. I am working on it.

Initially there was an extra generation slipped in where he was the son of himself. I fixed that, but now he seems to be linked to 3 Cornelia Nel's - my source (SAF) says she should be the child of Adriaan Nel and Catharin Appel, and that she married Johan Hendrik Backemeyer. IN the tree she is the child of Elias Nel and Anna Vivier. Si something has gone awry. I will try to fix it - get to the bottom of it!

In SAG V6 B8 Elias and his 2nd wife Anna Viviers m on 15 3 1733 - there are only 2 children listed for him - born in 1735 and 1743. A DN for her would help?

Elias on his profile page Father of -

Johan Abraham Nel, SV1b8c1; Albertus Nel, SV1b8c2; (These are listed in SAG V6 pages 126 and 132)

Jan Nel, b9c5; Cornelia Nel, b8c8; Izak Nel; Judith Maria Nel; Adriaan Nel and Elsie Nel

Adriaan born 1703 m Catharina Appel in 1725 SAG have him as B9, brother of Elias b8

Their children Levina Ferdinandus Willem Adriaan Johanna Jan Catharina Izak CORNELIA bapt 15.5.1740 m first Johannes Matthys de Beer and then Johan Heinrich Backemeyer Judith Maria Adriaan Elsie

So somewhere along the line things have been mixed up - I am going to move them to tally with the above breakdown unless I hear otherwise from anyone - I am also going to look if I can find other sources to confirm the SAG information before I do it.
