Daniel George Hendriks (1824-1884)

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.

Daniel's baptism names Adrianne as the father.

That link is for Daniel's death.  It is his children listed, as well as his parents names.

Edit: The above quoted link is Image 1066 of 2041 (as noted on the black bar above the actual image).  Images 1064 and 1065 are for two of Daniel's brothers, and Image 1067 is for a sister.

My MANY apologies and thank you for replies. Daniel we have documented, my mistake was his SON, Charles John (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GSDN-8JG).

Charles John is wife's great-great, but he's the one that's NOT on the document I listed. Forgive the correction.

So it's the Daniel to Charles connection that we're missing.

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

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).

You will need to find a baptism  for him to confirm parents as the DR you have does not list any relatives - how sure are you that that is his death notice. The parents attached were married in Wynberg- though I note the marriage lists the mother as Rachel Catharina Jansen not Rachel Jacoba Johnson. There appear to be no baptisms for children of this couple in the same parish (not indexed I paged through the register). There are a large number of un-indexed records - you may need to look through several Parishes to find the baptisms. The children don't appear in the Ring Book indexes but that may be because the Non-white parishes were not indexed. I would look through the Mission parishes in and around Cape Town to locate baptisms

See posts above. Our dead end is that I'm having trouble connecting Charles John to Daniel George.

I suppose I'm here looking for help because I don't know how to look through Parishes and baptisms?

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
