Die Raad vir Geesteswetenskaplike Navorsing, Pretoria. 1978 Klaas morgenthal Spelling van die Van ‘ a rose by any other name will smell as sweet’ uit Shakespeare se Romeo and Juliet. Vir Romeo en Juliet was hul verskillende vanne die grootste struikelblok in hul lewe. Indien hulle aan die Kaap in die tydperk 1691-1780 gewoon het behoort hulle geen probleem met hul vanne te gehad het nie as ons die spelling van die familie Kotze se van bestudeer. Die probleem het gelê by die Nederlands sprekende amptenary. Vir die navorser skep ‘n naam ook legio probleme, veral as dit vreemd gespel word. Wat spelling betref kom daar twee hoof strominge voor in Suid-Afrika nl Kotze en Kotzé. Die volgende vorme van KOTZE word gevind. Dit is duidelik uit onderstaande tabel dat Jan Kotze ten spyte van die spelling deur amptenare by die KOTZE spelling gehou het wanneer hy sy handtekening moes gee. Die bekende historikus George McCall Theal meld die volgende in die inleiding tot "Geslacht Register der Oude Kaapsche Familieën" oor spelling. Men herinnere zich dat in vroege jaren geen onderscheid werd gemaakt in het schrijven tusschen c en k, ch en g, s en z, en heel dikwijls d en t.

Sy jongste seun Roedolf is gebore na Jan se dood. (die Vendu rol meld dat Hendrina verwagtend was ‘het kind waer van voorn:e wed:e nog swanger gaet’’ en die distrubisie rekening gee die erfgename as ‘‘Hendrina van Hoetingen en laastelyk het kind waar van voorn. hede nog swanger gaet en naderhant by geboorte genoemd is Roelof Coetsé’’.) Volgens beskikbare inligting is Roedolf op 11 Dec 1712 gedoop. As dit aanvaar word dat Roedolf in Nov 1712 gebore is beteken dit dat Jan nog gelewe het in Maart 1712.

  • Susan Newton-King
    COMMERCE AND WBTERW. CULTURE ON !CHE EASTERN CUE FRONTIER, 1784-1812 by Susan Newton-King To my mind, the fundamental characteristic of the pre-industrial economy is the CO-existence of the inflexibility, inertia, and slow-motion,characteristic of an economy that was still primitive, alongside trends - limited and in the minority, yet active and powerful - that were characteristic of modern growth. On the one hand, peasants lived in their villages in an almost autonomous way, virtually in an autarchy; on the other hand, a market oriented economy and an expanding capitalism began to spread out, gradually creating the very world in which we live ... Thus we have two universes, two ways of life foreign to each other, yet whose respective wholes explain one another. * This paper is about the interpenetration of these Ittwo universesw - the market oriented and the self-sufficient - in a remote corner of the eighteenth century colonial world. Its subject is production, consumption and exchange in the Cape district of Graaff Reinet during the last three or four decades of the eighteenth century. Its primary purpose is to establish that the European inhabitants of Graaff Reinet, despite their geographical distance from the commercial centre of de Kaap and the apparent isolation of their dwellings, were, like their kinsmen living closer to Cape Town, inextricably involved in production for the market (or the production of commodities). It goes on to suggest that this aspect of their lives bore heavily upon them, so that, despite their partial reliance upon home-produced goods and services, many of them struggled to make ends meet, while a small minority grew rich, and became creditors of the poorer majority.

    DEEI.I A. GROEI EN WOE LING (1679 -1707). Hiel'die tydperk val in twee dele, en so verskiU,end is hulle van mekaar, dat hulle as twse aparte periodes van ons geskie­ denis moet beskou word.

Skokkoende g,ebeurtenisse volg mekaar snel op, 'en interessante' historiese figuDe tDee op di,e: voorgrond. Die e:envoudige llie-er­ setting word nou werklik 'n belangrike kolonie, maar af~e'Sien van 'n paar v.e-eboer-pioniers woon die koloniste nog altyd suid en w,ss van die l8terste bergre.eks. Die regeringstelsel kry sy beslag :en ne.em, ook wat sy onderdele betref, die vorm aan, wat dit tot die end van di,e Hollandse tyd sou behou.

  • On the Origin of the South-African Surname Coetzee Jan-Wouter Zwart the Origin of the Common South-African Family Name Coetzee
    On the origin of the South-African surname Coetzee Jan-Wouter Zwart The origin of the common South-African family name Coetzee, the tenth most common surname in South-Africa, is somewhat mysterious.1 South-African family names are often transparently derived from English, Dutch or French (Huguenot) family names, but Coetzee is not. The surname itself is not indigenous to any part of Europe. The English Wikipedia (s.l. Coetzee) states, without reference, that Coetzee derives from Hungarian Kocsi (‘from Kocs’).2 In the absence of a credible narrative, we may discard this as folk etymology.3 More interestingly, the Dutch Wikipedia (s.l. Coetzee) connects the name Coetzee to a Dirk Couché (1655-1725) who emigrated to the Cape Colony from Kampen (in what is now the Netherlands) in 1679.4 This information is based on South-African genealogical research, summarized in the Coetzee article on the South Africa’s Stamouers website (see note 4). As detailed there, ‘Couché’ was the son of a Gerard Couché and Margarita Claasdogter, and had ten children with his wife, Sara van der Schulp (1654-1728). They settled in Coetsenburg in 1682. If Dirk Couché was the first Coetzee in South-Africa, one can imagine that the name spread relatively rapidly via his prodigious offspring.5 The French name Couché suggests that Dirk was from a Huguenot family in Kampen, and this is the conclusion drawn in the English Wikipedia article on Dirk Coetsee.6 However, the name Couché/Coetzee/Coetsee is not listed as a surviving Huguenot name by the Huguenot Society of South Africa.7 More seriously, the name is also unknown in current records of Dutch family names.8,9 I therefore believe there is room for serious doubt that the person arriving at the Cape on May 8, 1679 was actually named Couché.10 1 http://www.name-statistics.org/za/prenumecomune.php, retrieved December 5, 2017 2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coetzee, retrieved December 5, 2017.

  • Cape Settlers V: from Flanders to Alsace on the Turbulent Frontier
    CHAPTER NINE Cape settlers V: from Flanders to Alsace on the turbulent frontier "■TV .w ? This chapter is chiefly concerned with Cape settlers whose homes lay in and beyond the region of French expansion to the east and the north-east. The area, which requires no precise definition here, is rep­ resented by a wide swath of territory from the Channel and North Sea coasts to Alsace and the Rhine, lying between Picardy and Champagne on the one hand and the lands of the Empire and the United Provinces on the other. A region of farm and forest, traversed by such rivers as the Lys, the Meuse and the Moselle, it reaches its highest points in the Ardennes, the Argonne and the Vosges. This part of Europe straddles a moving frontier which French penetra­ tion frequently extended considerably further than the limits deter­ mined at successive peace treaties. Beyond the north-eastern borders of France as they stood at the close of the seventeenth century, it included the bishopric of Liege and the provinces of the Spanish Netherlands: the counties of Flanders, Plainaut, Brabant and Namur, and the duchy FROM FLANDERS TO ALSACE 245 of Luxemburg. Within this frontier lay the Calaisis and the Boulonnais of northern Picardy, Artois and the Cambresis, permanent French gains in Flanders and Hainaut from Dunkirk to Maubeuge, and the tempor­ ary possessions of that country round Ypres and Tournai. Further French annexations lay to the south-east: the Charlemont salient on the Meuse; the duchy of Bouillon; the principality of Sedan; Longwy and other frontier positions.
