The citation as it was given

Written for the church centenary; gives three generations of Oosthuizen church service and the Zeekoegat village detail

Kept verbatim. This project contradicts published genealogies and corrects a family's own oral tradition, so every claim has to be checkable by someone who was not in the room.
