\u201cOm te weet waar jy vandaan kom. Weet jy? Ken jy jou herkoms? Weet jy wie is jy?\u201d \u2013 Aubrey Springveldt (stamboomnavorser).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Genetiese stambome en om persoonlike herkoms vas te stel kan betekenisvol wees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is ook uitlewing wat w\u00eareldwyd gewild is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Bethlehem het Martiens Pieters deeglik navorsing gedoen oor waar die Pieters-familie oorspronklik vandaan kom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die hoogtepunt van hierdie navorsing was \u2019n onthullingseremonie wat op 7 Oktober op die plaas Pietersdal\/Windhoek, in die Bethlehem-distrik plaasgevind het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die kollig het geval op Hermanus Bernardus Pieters, wat op 18 Oktober 1776 in Kaapstad gebore en op 4 Februarie 1851 oorlede is. Hy was met Susana Maria Groenewald getroud. Pieters is op die plaas Pietersdal\/Windhoek begrawe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wyle Ben Pieters (gebore 1940), Martiens Pieters (gebore 1944), Annatjie Cilli\u00e8 (gebore 1946) en Wimpie Pieters (gebore 1951) is die vierde geslag van Hermanus Bernardus Pieters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die stamvader was Barend Pieters, oftewel Pietersz van Wesel, Hertogdom Kleef wat van Duitsland afkomstig was. Hy is in 1687 gebore en tussen 1762 en 1763 oorlede en het in 1710 in die Kaap aangekom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy vrou was Johanna Nel, wat ook van Europese herkoms was, met wie hy in Stellenbosch getroud is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martiens vertel voorvader Hermanus, wat op die plaas Klipfontein, onder Riviersonderent in die Swellendam-distrik gewoon het, het met sy agt seuns saam met die Piet Uys-trek van die Kaap gekom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 trek was op pad na Natal en het op die plaas Windhoek in die Bethlehem-distrik uitgespan. Hermanus het ges\u00ea as hy nie in Natal regkom nie, trek hy terug na Windhoek. En s\u00f3 het dit gebeur. Hy was nie bereid om onder Engelse bewind te staan nie. So het hy in 1844 teruggegaan na Windhoek \u2013 \u2019n plaas van 4 129 morge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die plaas is in 1848 wettig op sy naam geregistreer. Dit was vir Martiens-hulle \u2019n voorreg om die grafsteen wat erg verweer was te restoureer en so by sy familie se geskiedenis betrokke te wees. Hy is net spyt sy broer, wyle Ben, kon dit nie ook beleef nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPlekke soos argiewe, museums, boedelregisters, oorlogregisters en ander kan gebruik word om meer van jou voorsate te wete te kom. Mense moet gesprekke soos staaltjies of lewensgebeurtenisse van voorgeslagte neerskryf of opneem om so hulle geskiedenis en lewensverloop vir die nageslagte lewendig te hou,\u201d s\u00ea Martiens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens hom kan Google ook \u2019n waardevolle bydrae maak. Op die soekblokkie kan byvoorbeeld \u2019n voorouer se volle name en geboorte- of sterfdatum ingetik word, of albei, plus die woord \u201cgeni\u201d om inligting te bekom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martiens se navorsing het hom na die Kaapse argiewe, asook die NG-kerk se argiewe in Bloemfontein, geneem en ook die Pieters-geslagsregisterboeke. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy het met die hulp van Lani Human van VrystaatKroon<\/i> \u2019n gedenkboek saamgestel. Die restourasie van die grafsteen is met passie deur Martiens, asook Franco, Jaco en Riaan Pieters, begin en voltooi. Freek van Eeden was ook teenwoordig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
