Image Right: Grave of ZEEMAN Jacob S. 1855-1934 & Johanna A.G. VAN DER MERWE 1857-1937 - Franschoek, Old Cemetery, Hugenot Museum

There are a number of Zeeman families listed in “SA Genealogies” vol 17, Genealogical Institute of SA, Stellenbosch, 2008”. Some of the trees have been added to GENi and others not.

The purpose of his project is to establish the trees and try to fit in some profiles as yet not linked to any main tree. It would be good to establish accurate trees for this family.

There are 3 sections to the project:

1. Heads of families/tress as listed in SAGv17
2. GENI Profiles not yet connected to a Zeeman tree
3. Sundry records/entries/documents found but not placed/linked/connected

Heads listed in SAG v17

Once the trees are all added to GENi we will be able to assign the order/ of their Stamvader/Progenitor status. Listed in order of arrival date where known.
