Jacoba Alida Morkel, murdered by her husband Dirk Gysbert van Breda at Ratelrivier on 21 March 1871 (Courtesy Village Life, 8, October-November 2005) SUID-AFRIKAANSE GESLAGREGISTERS DEEL 5b geredigeer deur GISA Genealogiese Instituut van Suid-Afrika Stellenbosch 1999. f2 Jacoba Alida * 28.9.1841 † Bredasdorp 22.3.1871 x 19.2.1857 Dirk Gysbert VAN BREDA.- Information received by Adrian Ackerman * Oupa Ouland Germishuys. Among the names mentioned by Emmerentia de Kock from the Agulhas National Park that are buried here is one, Oupa Ouland Germishuys. The Germishuys Family Tree is very detailed and can be found on the Internet. I have perused the Germishuys Family Tree to try and find out who Oupa Ouiland Germishuys was and if any other Germishuys member is buried there. According to the Family Tree, Jurie Johannes Germishuys is the only member buried at Ratelrivier. In this regard, I have also contacted the local Historian, Piet van As, who has lived all his long life in close proximity to Ratelrivier, but he was unable to assist who Oupa Ouland Germishuys. Below is the extract from The Germishuys Family Tree and I am fairly certain that Oupa Ouland Germishuys is in fact Jurie Johannes Germishuys Jurie Johannes Germishuys <http://www.germishuys.com/familytree/gtp63.htm> Born: 1843 - Marr: - Died: 29 Nov 1908 - Huis Ratelrivier Bredasdorp Father: Petrus Johannes Germishuys <http://www.germishuys.com/familytree/gp41.htm> Mother: Cornelia Geertruida Gildenhuyzen <http://www.germishuys.com/familytree/gp41.htm> - Information received by Adrian Ackerman Album incomplete. eGGSA captions by: Dal Good & Alex van Niekerk The GGSA Cemetery DVD only has information on the location of the cemetery Cemetery ID: Google Earth Project Information:- GPSID: GPS: -34 44.713, 19 41.685
