  • Different Perspectives in Researching Genealogy by Abrie De Swardt - Chairman of the Southern Cape Branch of the Genealogical Society of South Africa
    Different perspectives in researching Genealogy by Abrie de Swardt - Chairman of the Southern Cape Branch of the Genealogical Society of South Africa. Introduction. The family research enthusiast can follow various approaches , when they delve into family history. Some use a story line, for example the story of a ring, inherited by the latest in the line of daughters. She has the same names as the original ancestor, coming from the early 1800's of the previous millennium. A second approach may have history as departing point like the family-history of genl Jan Smuts, born in Riebeek-West in the Western Cape, to eventually become Chancellor of Cambridge, Prime Minister of South Africa, and member of the British War Cabinet during both the first and second World Wars(1914-1919) and (1939-45). It can also be looked at from a political perspective, for instance the relationship between the Smuts and Malan-families, both from Riebeek-West in the Western Cape, both becoming Prime Ministers of South-Africa. The location and family connection is a third possibility. Prof. Christiaan Neethling Barnard, famous doctor and professor from Groote Schuur Hospital, and the University of Cape Town, fitted into the genealogy of the de Swardt-family from Gwayang, George. In the fourth instance, it may have a church related bearing, for example the role that the de Swardt- family played in the Dutch Reformed Church in George from its establishment in 1813. Guillaume de Swardt (53 years) and his wife, Anna Sophia Weyers (39 years) were the first persons to be adopted in the church on 30 April 1813.
