• Will. In her aunt's will she is called Helena. All the other siblings are an exact match with existing data. So either the aunt is mistaken or this is a nickname. See http://databases.tanap.net/mooc/main_article.cfm?id=MOOC8%2F42%2E10&freesearchkey=van%20ryneveld

• General Comment. Magdelena Johanna de Wit was Christened on the 24th of August 1794. She was the daughter of Petrus Johannes de Wit and Josina Horak. Magdelena was the great granddaughter of the Burgher Councillor Jan de Wit who came to South Africa in about 1700. According to letters and coats of arms in the possession of the de Wit family, Jan de Wit was an Englishman named John White (reputed to have been a younger son of a family of English landed gentry). He changed his name after landing in South Africa. (See Borcherds' Autobiography - he was a first cousin of Magdelena Johanna.)

Magdalena married Daniel Johannes Van Ryneveld, son of Willem Stephanus Van Ryneveld and Martha Cornelia Van Der Riet, on 14 Jun 1812 in Cape Town, Cape Province, South Africa ¹.^,2 (Daniel Johannes Van Ryneveld was born in 1787 in Cape Town, Cape Colony, South Africa ² ^,3, christened on 25 May 1787 in Cape Town, Cape Province, South Africa,¹ died on 24 Apr 1869 in Stellenbosch, Cape Province, South Africa ¹ ^,2 ^,3 and was buried on 27 Apr 1869 in Stellenbosch, Cape Province, South Africa.)

There will inevitably be errors and omissions and the whole purpose of creating this online record, is to invite feedback and corrections.
The data is specifically for non-commercial use and my clear intention is to build family records. The data may, therefore, not be used in any way for the purposes of financial gain.

Caveat:- Throughout the project UK GRO birth, marriage and death index data appears. The GRO data appears in Quarters. Q1 = January, February and March, Q2 = April, May, June , Q3 = July, August and September and Q4 = October, November and December. Similarly, Mar Q = January, February and March, Jun Q = April, May, June , Sep Q = July, August and September and Dec Q = October, November and December. Where these dates occur, they represent the date of Registration of the event rather than the date of the actual event. Logically, registration occurs AFTER the event. In some cases this may be days or months or even years after the event. The important thing is that the event was recorded and a copy of the document of registration could be obtained if necessary. This also applies to South African NAAIRS records.

Similarly, the UK system is confusing to the uninitiated because registration districts can span several counties. Accordingly GRO locations may not record the true location of the event. They do record where the record is actually kept or recorded.

Caveat #2:- I have used URL's throughout the website as sources. The URLs are often from paid subscription sites so you may not be able to access them without an account. Inevitably there are broken URL's. I have been to every URL recorded here and at the time they were operational. In this regard, the Ancestry24 records are a problem. There are numerous references in the South African data citing Ancestry24 records. Unfortunately Ancestry24 has closed down and these records are no longer available on line.

The early South African records on this site would not have been as good as they are without the work done by Delia Robertson. Where there are website addresses containing http://www.e-family.co.za... I record the citation should read Robertson, Delia. The First Fifty Years Project.
