Flash Mob Researching first 3 Nel generations

Brian (Nel) Nelson said:
G'day all,

With respect, I believe the DVN for Jan (Hendrik?) Nel is correct as b2c2. All the records I have come across, as well as references in the profile of Guillaume Neel, show him to be the second child (c2) of Jean Neel (born about 1687), who was the second child (b2) of Guillaume Neel (SV/PROG).

DVN b3 in this matter belongs to Jeanne (Johanna) Neel, who was born on board the ship De Schelde in 1688, when the Guillaume Neel, his wife Jeanne (de la Batte) and son Jean (b2) left Amsterdam in 1688. Their first son David (b1) died young in Amsterdam abt 1686.

I have not come across any records that show they had a son Etienne! Maybe you can let me know the source of your info.

I look forward to your comments.

The following is on Guillaume's profile: Guillaume Néel, SV/PROG

Let wel dat hy nie familie van Estienne Nel nie.

Hy was 'n Franse Hugenoot wat in 1688 aan die Kaap aangekom het -- sommige boeke meld dat hulle op De Schelde na die Kaap gekom het, maar die moontlikheid is groter dat hulle as Amsterdammers aan boord van die '''Amsterdamse Borssenburg as De Schelde van Vlissingen met Vlaminge''' as passasiers was, saam met sy vrou, '''Jeanne la BATTE van Saumur'''
In 1690 het hy finansiële hulp ontvang vir homself, sy vrou en 2 kinders ontvang.
Teen 1734 was hy en sy familie reeds goed in die Kaapse distrik gevestig.
Op 9 November 1690 koop hy van Gerrit Jansz Visser die plaas Blaauwklip, Distrik Stellenbosch Wyk Moddergat aan hom toegeken, en in 1711 is die plaas Bootmans Drift, Drakenstein. Hy het 10 kinders gehad 1. Dawid gedoop Amsterdam, Nederland 7 Maart 1685 en klein oorlede (Boucher p. 125) 2 . Jean (Jan) *1687 Amsterdam, x Susanna Fourie, Gevestig te Blaawklip en later Rustenburg en Keerweder, Stellenbosch. Heemraad van Stellenbosch in 1722. 3. Jeanne (Johanna) * x 1 Jan 1708 Pieter Peil van Bielefeld xx Barend Pieterse van Wesel 4. Esaias ~ 27 Mei 1691 x 11 Feb 1725 Margaretha Beyers, weduwee van Leendert Oelofse 5. Cornelia x Adriaan van Jaarsveld 6. Willem, burger van Stellenbosch x 12 Jan 1755 Susanna Lombard, weduwee van Jonathan Durand 7. Judith ~ 3 Aug 1698 x Willem Odendaal, van Keulen 8. Elias ~ 28 Jul 1701 burger van Drakenstein x 21 Okt 1731 Anna Coetsee xx 15 Maart 1733 Anna Vivier 9. Adriaan ~ 23 Des 1703, woon te Stellenbosch Feb 1769, x Catharina Appel 10. Pieter Willem x 8 Apr 1725 Aletta van Deventer 11. Hester ~ 1 Aug 1706 x Pieter Venter

Em Lo, are you still around? The above looks like it's from your research on http://www.stamouers.com/stamouers/surnames-n-to-q/356-nel-estienne, & your research is always very precise!

Estienne Niel, SV/PROG on geni

A Discussion I started on this a while back:https://www.geni.com/discussions/161969?by_or_about=600000000026970...

LINE 2 DESCENT from Etienne Niel - from Dauphine - NOT a brother of Guillaume - so NOT a2

Probably easier to see on the project.
I think I have everybody, but there may be more?

UNKNOWN PARENTS
a Etienne Niel b1669, Dauphine, came to the Cape as a VOC soldier in 1692; later farmed at La Dauphine, Oliphantshoek, Drakenstein x c 1700 Marie Madeleine Marais b c 1681 aka Maria Magdalena in SA. Arrived at Cape 26.4.1688 on the 'Voorschoten' aged 6 from the Netherlands, having fled France the previous year.

It's easier to see on the project itself.

b11 Hester Nel and Pieter Venter.
Link supply for the children, except for the next children.

Anna, Johannes, Johannes Albertus and Hercules.
Family Search: Paarl and Drankenstein document only available from 1849.
eggsa.org: Paarl and Drankenstein document only available from 1694-1713.
No entry find in the Cape of Good Hope documents, for Anna, Johannes, Johannes Albertus amd Hercules.

See the baptism entry for "Jan Hendrik" Venter.

He was baptize as Johannes Henricus Venter. I did fill in the name on the profile under "also known as'.

THANK YOU. I'm going to call you 'the Marvellous Marie' from now on ;-)

I'll get hold of the managers of Anna Cornelia Venter & Jan Venter to see if they've got anything.

I updated Johannes Henricus Venter & put Jan Hendrik Venter in the aka. I wonder which parent liked to Latinise their children's names? I mean why settle for the ordinary & call your child Wilhelm Wouter - when you can go for 'Wilhelmus Wouterus'? :-) Too delightful - and very musical.

Sandra Hughes found Johannes Albertus Venter's baptism transcript. :-) One down!

Looking for the primary sources for these children of Anna Sophia Nièl, SM/PROG & Andries Grové, SV/PROG:
