Yes please, Putting it in the body of the list of projects is the most important of all - so we can help our new users to easily find all the SA projects they'd like to join.

To correct and confirm dates and names of congregations a big task.
Too much wrong information everywhere via shortcuts taken by some.
Different congregations lumped together by transcribers for expedience creates problems.
The whole rift and division of the Original Dutch Reformed Church from 1652 in South Africa just ignored.
Hervormde and Gereformeerde both translate into Reformed in English creating further confusion.
Some congregations in 1696 in the Cape if Good Hope like Stellenbosch eas calked Nederduitsche Hervormde Gemeente not NG Kerk.
Confusing everyone

ACCURACY!
The aim and just too bad if some get upset.
Let the facts and actual documentation be the guide here please.

e.g.
Found St Helena Anglican church under Malmesbury.
Mypeoplepuzzle -- just too many similar errors
Roodezand under Tulbagh etc etc.
Not all Albany baptisms were in Grahamstown another example of just say Grahamstown .
We need to correct these transcribed errors , that ihas been accepted as fact.

NG Kerk not the oldest church in SA but one of 3 that made up the original Dutch Reformed Church in SA .
A Myth perpetuated by the NG Kerk even on Wikipedia!!!
Known as both NH Kerk and NG Kerk before 1842
Split into two separate Churches 1840/ 1842 and then a third in 1859.

See added sources and information I added on project.

-- beginning to doubt if it is worth it !
