29 Jul 2026 [SRC-089] BAPTISM REGISTER READ, PRINCE ALBERT, entry 128: born 17 August 1909, baptised 12 September 1909 by DS D. WILCOCKS - the same minister who consecrated the Zeekoegat church two years earlier (STO-0006). SIX WITNESSES, FOUR OF THEM MALHERBES: Isabella Johanna, Catharina Louisa, HENDRIK LODEWIJK and Muriel Reinet MalherbeM, with Lambertus Petrus Johannes LouwM and Elizabeth Wilhelmina LouwM. He is named for a man standing at his own font. Noemnaam recorded as Hennie [TO VERIFY].
[11 Aug 2026, MED-000021] THERE IS A PHOTOGRAPH OF HIM. A studio portrait in a three-piece tweed suit and round spectacles, a man of about thirty, so of the 1930s or early 1940s. It carries no inscription; the identification is the family's own and rests on that.
These are working notes, not finished prose: they carry the reasoning, the corrections and the things still marked to verify. They are kept here so the page itself can read as what is known.
Open questions
-
Where exactly is Vischat / 'fisgat', and what is its real name?
priority 2 · LEAD-0018
Vischat is where Frans's grandfather Hendrik Lodewyk Malherbe OosthuizenH farmed until 1979 and where his father CJJ grew up, yet the model has no ground for it: no extent, no geometry, no ownership row, no document. Which parcel does it actually sit on, and is the name Vischgat/Visgat?
What would settle it The purchase deed - it will name the parcel Vischat forms part of. Failing that, a topo sheet showing the werf, or CJJ simply saying which farm it was on.
-
Vischat, Vischgat or Visgat, and where does the name come from?
priority 3 · LEAD-0024
