David Kolbe Booyzen

Carries the Kolbe name three generations after the 1820 Settler — AND HE HYPHENATED IT. The family tree recorded his wife Maria Jacoba Smit, married 1921, under the compound surname KOLBE-BOOYSEN, and this archive filed that as a tree oddity with nothing behind it. The Eastern Province Herald prints it twice. 16 OCTOBER 1944: “SAWTELLE – KOLBY-BOOYSEN. The engagement has been announced between LEVINA (FINNIE), only daughter of Mr and Mrs D. KOLBE-BOOYSEN, of PORT ELIZABETH, to Raymond Patrick, only son of Mrs D. Sawtelle, of Cambridge, England.” 19 APRIL 1945: “KOLBE-BOOYSEN – KRUGER. To be married at St Cuthbert's Church, Bingley Street, Port Elizabeth… Hilda, only daughter of Lieut. and Mrs F. Kruger of Heidelburg, Transvaal, to WILLIAM (S.A.A.F.), son of Mr and Mrs D. KOLBE-BOOYSEN, of Port Elizabeth.” A TOWN AND TWO CHILDREN, from two notices six months apart — and the engagement spells the headline KOLBY and the body KOLBE, four words from each other.

The Name

…1899 — with the diaeresis, the older Cape Dutch orthography, in the year the war began Kolbe-Booysen a compound recorded for Maria Jacoba Smit, who married David Kolbe Booyzen in 1921 Within a single sibling group the tree records Jacobus Nicolaas Booysen (b. 1840) and Jacobus Nicolaas Booyzen (b. 1841), both dying on 17 November 1882 . That is almost certainly one man entered twice under two spellings — a small demonstration of how easily this name splits.…

The forenames

…David Schalk Booysen b. 9 Jun 1848 The second. Named for his grandfather, four decades on. David Schalk Booijzen the younger c. 1889 The third, youngest on his mother's 1900 notice. David Kolbe Booyzen m. 1921 And it survives beside a second borrowed name: he hyphenated Kolbe onto Booysen and used it as his surname at Port Elizabeth. THE COUNT IS THE ARGUMENT. The three volumes of de Villiers were downloaded as text and the string DAVID SCHALK counted in each. PART 1 — which contains the entire BOOIJSEN genealogy — holds it EXACTLY ONCE, and that once is the child of 1807.…

A dossier is every mention of a person anywhere in this archive, gathered automatically after the site is built and linked back to the page it appears on. Identity here is by NAME, not by resolved individual — where two people share a name they share this page, and the archive says so rather than guessing. Nothing on a dossier page is new evidence; it is the same evidence, brought together.
