Good Afternoon, It just mean that it was the "Veldkornet" 's name. This was a person which in a commando type of service had a certain area with a few farms which where under his supervision/command? and the family came from a farm in the area of which he was the "Veldkornet". This Veldcornet was also chosen by the people if I am correct. Regards Petrus On 12/18/11, A.
