Stamvader Pieter Jansz VAN WESTHUIJSE: Moontlike kandidaat. Posted by: "Petrus van der Westhuizen" [email protected] stamboomwesthuizen Thu Mar 1, 2007 6:39 am (PST) Dagsê almal, Jammer oor die lang stilte, maar ek was ietwat besig. Onder andere het ek moontlik nou die volgende skakel van onse "stamvader", Pieter Jansz VAN WESTHUIJSE. Let wel dat dit nog geverifieer moet word, maar dit sal ek mettertyd in Brugge gaan doen wanneer daar tyd is. Gebruik dus die inligting eers met 'n waarskuwing. En ek hoor graag enige kommentaar of verdere inligting. Met die hulp van twee afsonderlike navorsers in Nederland en België asook vriendelike ondersteuning van die VVF-Brugge, het ek nou tot die volgende gevolgtrekking gekom: Daar is meer as een moontlike kandidaat vir Pieter se doopbesonderhede in Brugge, maar dat die mees waarskynlike een aangeteken is as Petrus VAN WESTHUUSE (seun van Petrus VAN WESTHUUSE en Maria VANDE VELDE), gedoop te Varsenare (in die randgebied van Brugge) op 17 April 1639. In hierdie geval is "Petrus" 'n varieëring van "Pieter". Dieselfde egpaar het te Varsenare ook die volgende kinders laat doop: Nicolaus VAN WESTHUUSE (13 Maart 1635) Cornelia VAN WESTHUUSE (29 Maart 1637) Mathias VAN WESTHUUSE (11 November 1641) Helena VAN WESTHUUZE (21 Augustus 1644) Bostaande inligting is aangeteken in die Parochieregisters / Kerkboeke van Brugge. Ook beskikbaar op die Internet by http://www.vrijwilligersrab.be/index.html. Ek wil ook noem dat ek onlangs Brugge besoek het en dat dit 'n heel aangename stad is. Beslis die kuier werd en om op dieselfde strate te gaan wandel waar ons voorvader gewandel het!

Ek het Antonius nie in die Vermeulen geslagsregister as 'n stamvader opgeneem nie. Is daar dalk iemand wat beskik ook enige inligting ten opsigte van die twee VERMEULEN kinders. Het die Durbanville gemeente in 1839 reeds bestaan, dalk onder 'n ander naam. ? Enigiets sal verwelkom word. Groete Johan Vermeulen. Bond van die Vermeulen Familie. Boodskap 8. Lappe vertel Posted by: "E Teir" [email protected] kerrieborrie Thu Mar 1, 2007 10:01 am (PST) Onreg teenoor die Groot Trek Feb 28 2007 12:16:39:513PM - (SA) Tshwane- Beeld In die geskiedenis van die Afrikaner is daar een heroïese gebeurtenis wat vandag byna dreig om deur die vergetelheid verdelg te word. Dit is die Groot Trek. Miskien was die verbeeldinglose wyse waarop die gebeurtenis vir baie jare deur onderwysers in skole aan opkomende geslagte voorgedra is, een van die redes hiervoor. Deelnemers aan die trek was, soos die storie destyds aan my vertel is, almal sulke vaal, sondelose karakters. In die proses is die ongelukkige voorval toe die opportunistiese Piet Retief hom in Dingaan vasgeloop het, totaal uit verband geruk en voorgedra asof die gebeurtenis simbolies van die ganse trek was. As ’n mens vandag kyk hoe suksesvol die Amerikaners hul groot trek na die weste van daardie land bemark het, en jy plaas dit langs die vaal storie van ons eie Groot Trek, kan jy net jou kop skud. Niemand het ons vertel dat Piet Retief uit die Kaap weg is omdat hy vir sy skuldeisers moes vlug nie. Niemand het vir ons vertel dat Retief, voordat hy aan trek gegaan het, die bates van die ryk weduwee, met wie hy in die Oos-Kaap getrou het, deur sy agterstewe getrek het nie. Niemand het ons vertel dat Andries Pretorius die lede van sy Wen- kommando toegelaat het om swart kinders te ontvoer nie. As die Afrikaner vandag terugkyk op sy eie verlede, sien hy daarin ’n interessante teenstelling wat soos ’n goue draad deur sy geskiedenis loop. Aan die een kant staan ’n kerk wat op hiper-Calvinistiese wyse vertel het dat die mens (en dus ook die Afrikaner) in sonde gebore is en net deur genade gered kon word. Aan die ander kant staan sy geskiedskrywers wat verhale vertel het van mense wat foutloos gelewe het. Alles wat verkeerd geloop het, was óf die skuld van die Engelse regering óf die swart volke wat hy in Afrika raakgeloop het. Hoeveel geslagte Afrikaner-kinders is nie grootgemaak om te haat nie? Ons moes alles wat Engels was, haat. Ons moes alles wat Rooms was, haat. Ons moes alles wat kommunisties was, haat. Ons moes die swartman en die duiwel vrees. En ons moes God en onsself liefhê. Geen wonder Allen Drury het ons as "a very strange society" beskryf nie Boodskap 9. Me.

  • Doornkop, May 1900
    Second Doornkop, May 1900 Four years later the British were back at Doornkop. That is, if one presumes the Rhodesian raiders, acting in the private interest of Rhodes and his fellow conspirators to overthrow the ZAR government, were “British”; and if one assumes a rather loose definition of the battlefield to be described. Fig 62: Boers in the field, this group at Spioenkop in the Natal Colony. Fig 63: British troops take aim, this photo taken at Colesberg in the Cape Colony. Pics: ABWM. May 1900 was towards the end of the first year of war. The South African War, also known as the Second or Anglo Boer War had started badly for Britain with a series of setbacks in October and November 1899 that saw British forces besieged at Ladysmith, Kimberley as well as Mafekeng and followed by Black Week, a series of calamities in the Cape and Natal during December 1899: Stormberg (10 December), Magersfontein (11 December) and Colenso (15 December). Over the New Year the British had recovered their posture and early in the year they had launched a general counter-offensive in both the Cape and Natal. By March Bloemfontein had fallen and Imperial forces were poised to move on the ZAR, which they reached in May. “Second Doornkop”, is a controversial battle, one which several writers have condemned as unnecessary. Field Marshal Lord Michael Carver writes in The National Army Museum Book of the Boer War that Lt Gen Ian Hamilton “engaged in what many thought a needlessly direct frontal attack. 95 ” Pakenham goes further saying the attack, when made, took some of its observers aback: “Then to the surprise of one of the brigadiers, (Maj Gen Hutton) and one of the correspondents (Churchill), Hamilton launched his two infantry brigades on a four mile wide frontal attack on the ridge.” 96 Both statements need interrogation; suffice to say the attack forms an integral part of the greater battle of Johannesburg that took place over two days in late May 1900.

  • Class, Race and Gender Amongst White Volunteers, 1939-1953
    From War to Workplace: Class, Race and Gender amongst White Volunteers, 1939-1953 By Neil Roos Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History in the Faculty of Human and Social Sciences at the University of North West Supervisor: Dr. Tim Clynick Mafikeng, North West Province August 2001 To Dick Abstract Through a case study of the war and post-war experiences of those who volunteered to serve in the Second World War, the thesis explores aspects of the social and cultural history of white men in South Africa. The thesis begins from the premise that class and ethnicity, the major binary categories conventionally used to explain developments in white South African society, are unable to account for the history of white men who volunteered to serve in the Second World War. It argues that the history of these volunteers is best understood in the context of racist culture, which can be defined as an evolving consensus amongst whites in South Africa on the political, social and cultural primacy of whiteness. It argues that, when the call to arms came in 1939, it was answered mainly by white men from those little traditions incorporated politically into the segregationist colonial order, largely through the explicit emphases of white privilege and the cultural hegemony of whiteness. Their decision to enlist was underscored by an awareness that volunteering entailed a set of rights and duties, which centred on their expectations of post-war "social justice." Chapter three examines some of the highly idealised and implicitly racialised ways in which, during wartime, white troops expanded their understanding of social justice.

    How many bones must you bury before you can call yourself an African? Updated December 2009 A South African Diary: Contested Identity, My Family - Our Story Part D: 1886 - 1909 Compiled by: Dr. Anthony Turton [email protected] Caution in the use and interpretation of these data This document consists of events data presented in chronological order. It is designed to give the reader an insight into the complex drivers at work over time, by showing how many events were occurring simultaneously. It is also designed to guide future research by serious scholars, who would verify all data independently as a matter of sound scholarship and never accept this as being valid in its own right. Read together, they indicate a trend, whereas read in isolation, they become sterile facts devoid of much meaning. Given that they are “facts”, their origin is generally not cited, as a fact belongs to nobody. On occasion where an interpretation is made, then the commentator’s name is cited as appropriate. Where similar information is shown for different dates, it is because some confusion exists on the exact detail of that event, so the reader must use caution when interpreting it, because a “fact” is something over which no alternate interpretation can be given. These events data are considered by the author to be relevant, based on his professional experience as a trained researcher. Own judgement must be used at all times . All users are urged to verify these data independently. The individual selection of data also represents the author’s bias, so the dataset must not be regarded as being complete.

  • The Psychological Impact of Guerrilla Warfare on the Boer Forces During the Anglo-Boer War
    University of Pretoria etd - McLeod AJ (2004) THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF GUERRILLA WARFARE ON THE BOER FORCES DURING THE ANGLO-BOER WAR by ANDREW JOHN MCLEOD Submitted as partial requirement for the degree DOCTOR PHILOSOPHIAE (HISTORY) in the Faculty of Human Sciences University of Pretoria Pretoria 2004 Supervisor : Prof. F. Pretorius Co-supervisor : Prof. J.B. Schoeman University of Pretoria etd - McLeod AJ (2004) Abstract of: “The psychological impact of guerrilla warfare on the Boer forces during the Anglo- Boer War” The thesis is based on a multi disciplinary study involving both particulars regarding military history and certain psychological theories. In order to be able to discuss the psychological experiences of Boers during the guerrilla phase of the Anglo-Boer War, the first chapters of the thesis strive to provide the required background. Firstly an overview of the initial conventional phase of the war is furnished, followed by a discussion of certain psychological issues relevant to stress and methods of coping with stress. Subsequently, guerrilla warfare as a global concern is examined. A number of important events during the transitional stage, in other words, the period between conventional warfare and total guerrilla warfare, are considered followed by the regional details concerning the Boers’ plans for guerrilla warfare. These details include the ecological features, the socio-economic issues of that time and military information about the regions illustrating the dissimilarity and variety involved. In the chapters that follow the focus is concentrated on the psychological impact of the guerrilla war on the Boers. The wide range of stressors (factors inducing stress) are arranged according to certain topics: stress caused by military situations; stress caused by the loss of infrastructure in the republics; stress caused by environmental factors; stress arising from daily hardships; stress caused by anguish and finally stressors prompted by an individuals disposition.

  • The Union Defence Force and the 1914 Strike: the Dynamics of the Shadow of the Burgher
    Historia 59, 2, November 2014, pp 136-151 The Union Defence Force and the 1914 strike: The dynamics of the shadow of the burgher René Geyer Then de la rey (sic) rode into the Rand with his commandos. The shadow of the burgher lay over Johannesburg.1 Introduction The year 1914 was one of the most significant and turbulent years in the early twentieth-century history of South Africa, and in particular, the history of the young Union Defence Force (UDF). The UDF was not only called upon operationally by the government to suppress a strike in January 1914, but was also expected to subdue the Afrikaner Rebellion later that year and to participate in the First World War on the side of Great Britain2 – an enormous challenge for an untested defence force besieged with controversy, conflict and contradiction. In January 1914, a general industrial strike was called by the South African Federation of Trades, leading to unrest and riots in the Witwatersrand area of the Union of South Africa. It was essentially a continuation of the 1913 strike, one in which the strikers meant to protect and promote the interests of the white worker in a changing South Africa.3 The strike turned violent, and for the first time since the establishment of the Union on 31 May 1910, martial law was declared in South Africa. The new government was determined to end the strike swiftly and the fledgling UDF, only just established in 1912,4 was called upon for its first operation to subdue the strike and to enforce stability in the country.5 Since the UDF was still in a transformational and integration phase, the newly formed Permanent Force (July 1913) was not yet fully organised and ready to quash the strike on its own,6 therefore the commandos (also called the “rifle René Geyer is a researcher for the Nuclear Proliferation International History Project (NPIHP) attached to the School for Social Science at Monash South Africa, a campus of Monash University Australia.

Escape of the It was a very natural, but a very costly error by which, leaders and in the last stage of the advance, the main British energies one organised force, were devoted to forcing a passage direct to the Portuguese Sept. 1900. border and not to the more important object of cutting the one line of retreat open to the one organised Boer force still * in existence. This matter was dealt with in the last volume ; but it is necessary to remind the reader that in the middle of September Louis Botha, with the aid of Ben Viljoen, collected from the wrecks of the melting army 2,000 of the staunchest spirits in the Boer ranks, and, accompanied by Acting-President Schalk Burger and the members of the Transvaal Government, cut himself adrift from the railway, with all its attendant scenes of confusion and de- moralisation, and inarched north for Pietersburg. Though there was full warning of this important movement, and ample time to defeat it, Botha was allowed to effect his purpose almost unchallenged.

    96 TEE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA CHAPTEE IV THE ADVANCE OF THE MAIN ARMY TO PRETORIA Preliminary BEFORE the central column started towards Pretoria, a few preliminary manoeuvres were necessary at the end of April to°be mad*e by Tucker in order to bring the whole of the main army into line. too far HMonton on Hamilton was south at Thaba 'Nchu, and two 30th April, of the brigades allotted to him, Broadwood's and Bruce 1900 Hamilton's, were still with Tucker in the neighbourhood of Krantz Kraal. At the same time Lord Eoberts wished to keep open his communications with Ian Hamilton by clearing the Boers from the hills south-east of Karee Siding. Orders were accordingly issued for the first moves to be made on April 30 by Ian Hamilton and Tucker. Ian Hamilton was to move north from Thaba 'Nchu past Houtnek, halt at Jacobsrust for Bruce Hamilton and Broad- wood to join him, and make his way to Winburg by the 3rd. Lord Eoberts seems to have issued these orders in ignorance of the fact that Philip Botha had massed most of his men at Houtnek, as he informed Ian Hamilton that he would reach Jacobsrust without much opposition. Tucker, on the same day, was to clear the ridges north of Krantzkraal between Glen Siding and Houtnek, and help Bruce Hamilton and Broadwood on their way to join Ian Hamilton.

Nearly fifty years ago the International Committee of Onomastic Sciences (ICOS) came into being. This body has held fifteen triennial international congresses to date, the most recent being in Leipzig in 1984. With its headquarters in Louvain, Belgium, it publishes a bibliographical and information periodical, Onoma, an indispensable aid to researchers. Since 1967 the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) has provided for co-ordination and liaison between countries to further the standardization of geographical names. To date eleven working sessions and four international conferences have been held. In most countries of the world there are institutes and centres for onomastic research, official bodies for the national standardization of place names, and names societies.
