Opdrag - <strong>De</strong>dication<br />

Hiedie publikasie word in dankbare herinnering opgedra aan:<br />

In grateful rememberance this publication is dedicated to:<br />

Christoffel Coetzee de <strong>Villiers</strong><br />

(10.3.1850 - 4.9.1887)<br />

(a1 b3 c1 d8 e2 f3 g6)<br />

As baanbreker-genealoog was hy feitlik alleen<br />

verantwoordelik vir die insameling en verwerking<br />

van die inligting wat verskyn het in die eerste<br />

omvattende genealogiese publikasie in<br />

Suid-Afrika, Geslachtregister der oude Kaapsche<br />

Familiën (1893-1894). Hierbenewens het hy die<br />

unieke nommeringstelsel en genealogiese tekens<br />

ingevoer wat vandag nog algemeen in<br />

Suid-Afrika gebruik word. As a pioneer<br />

genealogist, he practically on his own, collected<br />

and processed all the information pub-lished in<br />

the first comprehensive genealogy in South<br />

Africa, Geslach-tregister der oude Kaapsche<br />

Familiën (1893-1894). In addition, he initiated the<br />

unique numbering system and the use of<br />

genealogical symbols which are now widely used<br />

in South Africa.<br />

Cornelius Gerhardus Stephanus de <strong>Villiers</strong><br />

(16.12.1894 - 25.11.1978)<br />

(a1 b3 c1 d6 e7 f5 g6)<br />

Dr. Con het nie alleen 'n groot bydrae gelewer tot<br />

die opteken van familie-oorleweringe van<br />

verskeie Overbergse families nie, maar was ook<br />

die eerste persoon wat twéé groot<br />

Suid-Afrikaanse families nagevors het. Sy boek<br />

Die Familie Swart is in 1977 gepubliseer, terwyl<br />

sy navorsing oor die <strong>De</strong> <strong>Villiers</strong>-familie die<br />

grondslag vir hierdie publikasie vorm.Not only did<br />

Dr. Con make an important contri<strong>but</strong>ion to the<br />

recording of family legends concerning various<br />

Overberg families, <strong>but</strong> he was also the first<br />

person to research the genea-logies of two big<br />

South African families. His <strong>book</strong> Die Familie<br />

Swart was published in 1977, whereas his<br />

research on the <strong>De</strong> <strong>Villiers</strong> family, forms the basis<br />

of this publication.<br />
