    3. In that case the daughter would be Anna Elisabeth Gerrits (surname of patronymic origin) and not Gerritsdochter (true patronymic) Has anybody seen Gerritsdochter on a document, or is this just a little embellishment along the line? Correct would have been Anna Elisabeth Casparsdochter Gerrits Gerda ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Meintjes" <umfundi@usa.net> To: <south-africa@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2011 7:34 PM Subject: Re: [SOUTH-AFRICA] Weyers -- Holland and Germany >> Casrar Gerrits > > Should be Caspar > > Keith >

    3. I have seen a similar naming system with Norwegian settlers in 1880's arriving on the Lapland.

    3. Hello Gerda, Wednesday, November 16, 2011, 7:39:06 PM, you wrote: Gg> In that case the daughter would be Anna Elisabeth Gerrits (surname Gg> of patronymic origin) and not Gerritsdochter (true patronymic) Gg> Has anybody seen Gerritsdochter on a document, or is this just a Gg> little embellishment along the line? For this particular person it appears in her marriage entry (though not with that spelling) and it is not uncommon in 17th century documents from Delft, for instance: Stellenbosch NGK marriage register: 1718 1 Maij - Wyer Hendrikz van Epen jongman met Anna Elisabeth Gerritsdogter Gg> Correct would have been Anna Elisabeth Casparsdochter Gerrits Yes - that form appears occasionally in the Cape registers but not very often - assuming that the compilers of genealogies have allocated that bride the correct parents (!).
