Die sitasie soos dit gegee is
First farm in the Olifants River valley granted to Pieter van Zyl in 1732; the town founded between 1804 and 1808 and renamed Clanwilliam on 1 January 1814. THE KEY LINE: "Until 1826 Clanwilliam formed part of the town Tulbagh" - some families used the Zwartland church at Malmesbury instead - and "a priest from Tulbagh visited Clanwilliam annually to administer sacraments and baptisms." So there was NO CONGREGATION in the Olifants River valley before 1826.
Woordeliks gehou. Hierdie projek weerspreek gepubliseerde genealogieë en stel 'n familie se eie mondelinge oorlewering reg, so elke bewering moet nagegaan kan word deur iemand wat nie in die vertrek was nie.
