Shared note: Parents of Maria Jacoba MEYBURGH Parents of Maria Jacoba MEYBURGH No direct evidence that this Maria Jacoba MEYBURGH is the daughter of Phillipus Arnoldus MEYBURGH and Johanna Susanna NIENABER, other than that these two names appear as witnesses to the baptism of Maria's daughter Johanna Susanna together with Maria's in-laws names. A Maria Jacoba is listed as first born in the death notice of Philippus Arnoldus MEYBURGH, but her married name is not given there. Shared note: Children of Philippus Arnoldus MEIBURGH (1818-1884) and Johanna Susanna NIENABER (1823-1888) Children of Philippus Arnoldus MEIBURGH (1818-1884) and Johanna Susanna NIENABER (1823-1888) The names of the children listed in both their death notices do not correspond completely to the children listed as g1..g9 in SAG 12, p761. There is some overlap, but also omissions in both sources. The data in SAG 12 seems to be identical to that of the genealogies prepared by PA Myburgh as well as Freek Myburgh. This requires further investigation. |
