Notes:

My informant states that this person died at the age of 69, born 1832, died 1901. He was married, his wife dying in 1906. He was the great grandfather of Agatha Gertruida Coetzee (Kotze). He lived in Camp I, Block U, Tent 8, Ration Ticket 175.


It is likely that:


1. That the source (RS file) was incorrect.


2. That there were two different people concerned and that the records do not make this clear.


This database consists of records from the archives and the Potchefstroom camp records are missing. For this reason I can only make a note of the information received from correspondents.
