2 fathers and 2 mothers ?

freed slave born in Netherlands ?
Any source for that .

Baptism record 27 October 1678 Cape Town

I fixed the duplicate parents. Thanks for fixing the birth place - I've locked it now

Where ?
In 1678 was it Cape of Good Hope , Kaap De Goede Hoop , de Caep de Gode Hope , Cabo Bonne Esperanza ?
Some versions are just hilarious like so many "Dutch " place names in South Africa -- only here .
Cape Colony from 1806 to 1910 ?
Cape Province 1911 to 1995 ?
Western Cape from then on ?
What do you think ?

I think you're right

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_of_Good_Hope
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Cape_Colony

Kaap de Goede Hoop 1652 to 1795 and again from 1803 to 1806
Cape of Good Hope 1795 to 1910
Cape Province 1910 - 1994
Western Cape 1994 - present

Apparently 1806 to 1910
Kaap de Goede Hoop still official Dutch name , so could use that.
Where are the people born in the Graaf Reinet Republic ?

Is there one?

1795
Surely there must be ?
Just as an interesting part of South African History.

Or even Republics of Stellaland and Goshen 1882 - 1883 ?
The Independent Griewka state , did they register births and deaths ? Kokstad a good place to investigate this.
Maybe even correctly all the different Republics and States 1700 to 1910 that became The Union of South Africa in 1910.

Do let me know what you find out, Interesting.
