Recent corrections from Keith 13 Dec 2016:

Keith Meintjes has identified a substantial error in the Meintjes genealogy, where three wives attributed to separate men in de Villiers / Pama were actually married to the same man. An article on this was published in Familia in 2011, and can be seen here:

Meintjes/Wives of JP Meintjes Nov 2016.pdf

Keith has now updated the Meintjes family genealogy to correct this error.  The update can be seen and downloaded here:

Meintjes/Meintjes b4c3 Corrected Dec 2017 v1.pdf

This information replaces the descendants of a1b4c3, Johannes Petrus Meintjes, starting on page 27 of Keith’s book (link), up to a1b4c4, Albert Meintjes, at the bottom of page 35. This corrected information was prepared for the forthcoming “M” volume of South African Families.

Keith says, “I suggest you print the correction and place it in the book.  I do not know when I will find the energy to update the book itself.  It will take many hours to reformat the pages and to fix the indexes.”
