'Suid-Afrikaanse Geslagregisters' by Dr J A Heese [McArthur-306 : Ian McArthur - 15 Sep 2015]
Kruger-1648 and Kruger-756 appear to represent the same person because: I have looked up 2 sources. Barry Krugers Book on die Krugers and the SAF CD nr 20 - Kruger. Kruger-1648 should be the same than Kruger--756, with the latter having the correct date of birth.
Please solve this brother of the same name situation. One of the sources must be wrong. In the meantime. Gert, wat is jou bron waarop jy die geboorte van hierdie broer baseer, en as dit reg is wil jy die datum van dood aanpas asseblief?
Kruger-1648 and Kruger-756 do not represent the same person because: These are actualy 2 brothers. The one died early and the second one got the same name.
Kruger-1648 and Kruger-756 appear to represent the same person because: Same data. Same parents. Gerrit Kruger (Gert) * 19.09.1802 , ? 20.03.1803 NG Kerk Kaapstad, (doopgetuies: Gerrit Kruger, Susanna Lasya Buys, Hendrik Bernard Kruger, Francina Venter), 24.02.1872
So the profiles are the same and need to be merged.
I have added a list of the siblings of Gerrit. There is no record of a Gerrit who died in infancy, but another sibling is marked 'Jonk dood'. The big difference in dates of birth of the siblings could be explained by the fact that Gerrit was the eldest with mother the first wife, and some of the later half-siblings were from wives #2 and #3 . I could find no other evidence, but
I think it is likely that Kruger-756 and Kruger-1648 refer to the same person.
[Ian McArthur - 19 July 2015]. Although I have added a pile of information to the 'biography' I haven't entered any of it into the profiles - but I would be glad to if you think that it is reliable enough. But entering it would collaterally affect some of the Project Protected profiles by implication.
Or is it perhaps a generational father / son profile conflict ... ? I'd appreciate it if you could sort it without any connecting and disconnecting of profiles.
Hi Ian, thanks for adding all this information. Ignore the Geni-source. I had just started out with Wikitree and was just finding my feet.
What caught my eye was the rejected merge with Gerrit Kruger-1648 Jun 25, 2015. They have the same parents and the same dates of death. Now there are 2 possibilities: they are 2 different people or the two profiles represent the same person. A) If they are two persons the one died as an infant and 9-10 months later is next born sibling brother got his name. B). The two profile represent the same person; the date of birth being September 1802 for this profile and the date of baptism July 20, 1803 for the other one (many times people waited with baptism because of the high mortality rate under infants and / or the long distances or reasons of health.
Now I did not study your sources; could you determine which options A) or B) is applicable here. And if it is B) decide with my brother Wynand how to merge the two profiles best.
