Sonia, In SAG 16 p. 256 we have: Heinrich Weyers arrived from Epe Netherlands 1702. The acknowledgement is to Hoge: Personalia of the Germans at the Cape. Possibly he was German, but sailed from the Netherlands?

My records indicate that Heinrich WEYERS (or Weyer HENDRIKS) was born ca 1680 in either Eppe, Germany or Netherlands, christened in 1700. He arrived in SA 1702 on the Oostersteen, married May 1, 1718 to (Elsje) Anna Elisabeth GERRITSDOCHTER, daughter of Caspar GERRITS (GERRYTS) and Elsie (Elisabeth) (PYL) SPELDENBERG. He was a soldier and burger 1714, had 3 daughters. Can anyone advise me whether he was in fact from the Netherlands or Germany?
