Some say that his parents were Johan Hendrik Bernhardi and Susanna Margaretha Hartman.
Hoge has him born on 18.11.1757 @ Mannheim, with parents Carl Christian Bernhardi and Anna Sara Welker. See 'About' on the profile.
I usually find Hoge very reliable, referring to the sources he used, but he is obviously not infallible.
Does anyone have a source for the other set of parents?
Jansi I have this from one source - which makes my conclusion that these are the parents of both the Prog who were brothers, namely Frederik Jacob (SV1) and Carel Christiaan (SV 2)
Parents of above then Carl Christian Bernhardt(Bernhardi) and Anna Sara Welker. It might be a spelling mistake and she might as well be Walker but I will suggest we stay with Welker.
Carl Christian Bernhardt en Anna Sara Welker. Die twee stamvaders wat hieronder genoem word: Frederik Jacob en Caren Christiaan was broers
SV1 Frederik (Friedrich) Jacob Bernhardi v. Meisenheim i.d. Palts. Aank. 1759, soldaat. 1764 sersant en poshouer op Robbeneiland. Hy tree 1779 uit die diens. Burger 1780 (bakker), luitenant v.d, milisie. †27.1.1790. x 11.12.1774 Jacomina Greeff; xx 3.8.1783 Anna Catharina Victor, wed.v. Hendrik de Jongh.
SV2 Carel Christiaan (Carl Christian) Bernhardi
v. Mannheim, 18.11.1757. Soldaat 1779-82, later assistent. Repatrieer in 1786, maar kom weer terug. †Paarl 20.8.1811, x 6.4.1788 Catharina Maria de Jongh.
Dan uit GR van Hoge: die volgendes.

Hallo Jansi
Op Familysearch is daar a doopregister inskrywing vir 'n Carl Christian Bernardi geb. 18/11/1757 sv Johann Henrich Bernardi en Susanna Margaretha (geen van genoem nie). Daar is helaas ook geen beeld van die doopregister beskikbaar nie. Die skakel is https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NCZV-BXJ
Groete, Louis
Dit lyk my darem na 'n te groot toeval. Twee Carl Chrisitan Bernardis gedoop op dieselfde dag in Mannheim van twee aparte ouerpare... Ek het verder na die informasie op Familysearch gekyk en die volgende samestelling gemaak vir die egpaar Carl Christiaan Bernardi en Anna Sara Welckers (ook genoem Welckerin of Wolkerin)
Carl Christian Bernhardi x 5 Nov 1722 Anna Sara Welckers (Welckerin / Wolkerin) te Evangelische Kirche, Meisenheim, Pfalz (teenwoordig Rheinland-Pfalz)
Anna Engel Bernhardi ≈ 22 Sep 1723 Evangelische Kirche, Meisenheim, Pfalz † 24 Jun 1725
Johann Georg Bernhard ≈ 01 Feb 1725 Evangelische Kirche, Meisenheim, Pfalz
Anna Magdalena Bernhardi ≈ 09 Jan 1727 Evangelische Kirche, Meisenheim, Pfalz † 23 Feb 1729
Johann Henrich Bernhardi ≈ 24 Feb 1729 Evangelische Kirche, Meisenheim, Pfalz x Susanna Margaretha Hartmann * 13 Jul 1737 ≈ 15 Jul 1737 Evangelische Kirche, Mannheim dv Johann Peter Hartmann en Anna Catharina Bourque
Maria Charlotta Bernhardi ≈ 27 Mar 1732 Evangelische Kirche, Meisenheim, Pfalz
Johann Carl Bernhardi ≈ 06 Jan 1733 Evangelische Kirche, Meisenheim, Pfalz
Friderich Jacob Bernhard ≈ 02 Mar 1736 Evangelische Kirche, Meisenheim, Pfalz
Susanna Maria Bernhard ≈ 13 Jan 1739 Evangelische Kirche, Meisenheim, Pfalz
Ek dink dat hulle voorlaaste kind moontlik ons eerste stamvader is en dat hul tweede seun Johann Henrich Bernhardi x Susanna Margaretha Hartmann moontlik die vader is van ons tweede stamvader Carl Christian Bernhardi. M.a.w Carl Christian is dan die klein neef van Friedrich Jacob en nie sy broer nie.
Hier is ook nog die samestelling vir die egpaar Johann Henrich Bernhardi en Susanna Margaretha Hartmann
Johann Henrich Bernhardi ≈ 24 Feb 1729 Evangelische Kirche, Meisenheim, Pfalz x 24 Nov 1756 Evangelisch Kirche, Mannheim met Susanna Margaretha Hartmann * 13 Jul 1737, ≈ 15 Jul 1737, † 10 Jun 1767 Mannheim, # 11 Jun 1767 Mannheim. dv Johann Peter Hartman en Anna Catharina Bourque
Carl Christian Bernhardi * 18 Nov 1757, ≈ 18 Nov 1757 Evangelische Kirche, Mannheim
Johann Peter Bernhardi * 11 Nov 1759, ≈ 12 Nov 1759 Evangelische Kirche, Mannheim
Johann Henrich Carl Bernardi * 11 Nov 1761, ≈ 12 Nov 1761 Evangelische Kirche, Mannheim
Anna Rosina Bernhard ≈ * 20 Jan 1764, ≈ 20 Jan 1764 Evangelische Kirche, Mannheim
Helaas... Nog 'n goeie bron om te gebruik vir Duitse kerkregisters is http://matricula-online.eu. Ook hier helaas geen beelde vir Meisenheim of Mannheim. Ek is akkoord daarmee om die veranderinge te maak as niemand anders verdere bewyse het nie
Kom ons wag so 'n week of wat vir besware/verdere dokumentasie.
Dit lyk my Hoge het uit FJ se testament afgelei dat die twee broers was en dat sy ouers ook CC se ouers was.
Ek het die requeste opgespoor en ook die resolusie waarna Hoge verwys.
In sy versoek om te repatrieer meld CC dat hy moontlik sal wil terugkom aangesien hy 'alhier van syne nabestaande komt agter te laten' (http://databases.tanap.net/cgh/main.cfm?artikelid=24784&zoekwoo...)
In sy versoek om burgherskap meld FJ dat hy van 'Wijsenheijen' [Mijsenheijen?] (Leibbrandt transkripsie) is.
FJ se inventaris is hier http://databases.tanap.net/mooc/main_article.cfm?id=MOOC8%2F75.26&a...
FJ uit Uijsenheijn se VOC rekord http://vocopvarenden.nationaalarchief.nl/detail.aspx?ID=1289406
CC uit Manheim se VOC rekord http://vocopvarenden.nationaalarchief.nl/detail.aspx?ID=1079601
Niks werp egter lig op hul verwantskap nie. As hulle egter broers was sou hulle surely van dieselfde plek wees? En CC de oude het geen seun CC laat doop nie. Verder was al sy kinders teen 1739 gedoop. 'n Laatlammetjie in 1757 maak nie sin nie.
Mens sal seker die testament moet bekom om heeltemal seker te maak, maar ek is oortuig.
Ek stem saam Jansi. Carl Christian se terugvaart na die Kaap is ook op VOC Opvarenden : http://vocopvarenden.nationaalarchief.nl/detail.aspx?ID=1393087. Op NAAIRS is daar ook 'n verwysing na sy testament : http://www.national.archsrch.gov.za/sm300cv/smws/sm30ddf0?201307031...
Miskien moet ons ook die bestuurders van Friedrich Jacob Bernhardi, SV/PROG, Carl Christian Bernhardi en Anna Sara Welker hierby betrek
Hello Jansi.
Our minister in Darling Presbyterian church is Christopher Ian Bernhardi. He added a whole lot of profiles , bur they are private. He may know more about this. I will ask him. His emails address is
Ian Bernhardi [ianbernhardi@cornergate.com]
Best regards

I have images obtained from the LDS Family History films of the parish registers for what is presumably the sister of Friedrich Jacob BERNHARDI and Carl Christian BERNHARDI, Charlotta BERNHARDIs 1731 baptism and her father's two marriages at Meisenheim. Her father Carl Christian BERNHARDI was the son of ("the late" as of 1716) Johann Heinrich BERNHARDI, and her mother Anna Sara WELKER was the dtr of Friedrich. I think both families were originally from Meisenheim, though Carl Christian may well have been baptized in the town where his father was Churpfaelzischer Amtkeller.
Maria Charlotte (Sharlotta) BERNHARDI married Christoph SCHMIDT and their son Ludwig Wilhelm SCHMIDT came to South Africa and married Carolina Petronella WOLHUTER.
If anyone would like copies of the following images, I could forward them to you or you could check the relevant LDS Family History Library films. My email address is stellasutherland@hotmail.com
