You can search the catalog for parish records. I found the baptisms for the Wynberg Parish by looking at the marriage record, in the blue writing above the image if you select Wynberg it will bring up a list of the available records for the parish of Wynberg in that collection. You can see that there are baptisms from 1829 - 1895 - both these collections do have indexes in the images the 1st at the end of the film and the 2nd at the beginning. you can page through using the arrows etc
To find the dates when parishes were established go to https://www.stamouers.com/civil-and-sacred/ngk-churches-in-the-cape-and-their-origins this will help you find the names of parishes to look for in the Catalog. The most likely parishes would be Wynberg, Cape Town, Kalk Bay, Simons Town and Fish Hoek - unfortunately it looks as though the latter 2 are not on-line

Thanks for all that, but I'm afraid it's above my pay-grade or abilities. Is there a link to this catalogue? The link here is for churches but I don't see how to search people.

Hrm.... Charles' baptism death record says Adolph is the father....

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSQ8-4S5Z-W?i=674&cc=2517051&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AQPWR-Y68D

Any chance Adolph is a brother to Daniel?

Edited to correct document type.

Parents are different, children are different, wife is different and death date is different.
Likely this is a separate Charles John Hendricks (this one is also Hendrickz).

Hey!
Looking for help making a connection on my wife's side.

We've traced her family back to South Africa to her 3xgrandfather:
Daniel George Hendricks (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/sources/LYFL-2CC)
and through FamilySearch we've connected him to the family of:
Adriaan Johannes Hendrickze (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/G9WR-W8V)

However every document that I've been able to find has no connection between them, including Adriaan's death certificate listing his children (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSQF-D9HF-4?from=lynx1UIV8&treeref=LYFL-2CC&i=1065) and Daniel isn't in there.

Where I would normally place this as a dead end and try to find the correct father, my wife has since found several matches on her FTDNA profile that have family trees that go up to Adriaan Johannes, marking him as the likely shared ancestor.

So the trees connect and the DNA matches, but there's no sources for such.

Any ideas?

Thanks heaps folks.

You need an Ancestry international subscription and be able to read old German.
Let me know If you need any help.

Dave, you're some kind of superstar for that!

I did have an Ancestry subscription but it ran out, and even though we're in Australia I don't think it was the International subscription because I searched and searched and didn't find such detailed information as what you found.  That is awesome.

I would honestly hate to trouble you, but since you offered I will humbly ask if you can see what you can turn up for Johannes's parents, Matthaus (sp?) and either Maria or Catharina Magdalena.

I've been searching the records on Familysearch.org and even though I have "Maria Magdalena" as Matthaus's wife, there's no real record of that.  Instead there's:
* Catharina Magdalena Moechin
* Magdalena Moesch
* Catharina Magdalena Moesch

So I'm guessing my info is wrong.  The above records are all for baptisms too, for children:
* Tobias Oechslen
* Anna Magdalena
* Regina Euphrosyna
* Wolfgang Thomas
* Jacob Oechsslen

And my tree only has Anna, Wolfgang and Johannes (my 5xgreat grandfather) so I'm missing some children too.

I reckon if all this info is out there on Ancestry, I'll probably have to suck it up and get another subscription so I can fill it all in.  Your help until I do though is wonderful though and much appreciated!
