SUBMITTING MATERIAL

If you would like to send information on a stamouer, here are some guidelines.

What time period do you want? Since the enormity of this project, and to be able to manage it, I only want stamouers who were at the Cape prior to 1795. The Cape was under the rule of the VOC until that year. Furthermore these early stamouers has a far greater number of descendants. We will look at expanding the project at a later stage.

Do you want both the male and female stamouers? Please submit both the male and female stamouers. You can do that as separate postings or combine them both in one article.

What Format do you want the material? You can send it in the format that pleases you, there is a great variety of submissions. You can also have a look at the styles and formats that others have used. Please send your article as a pen-ultimate. I do not want to do editorial work, rather once I have received it, I want to copy and paste it. You can send the material either as an e-mail message or as an attachment.

Do you want references? Where possible, please supply the reference works from which you have gleaned your compilation.

Who gets the credit? The persons who submits material from already gleaned printed work will be credit as one who have made the submission. The persons who clearly have done some primary research will be credited as one who has been a researcher. The sources that was used also will receive credit. In all three categories there may be more than one person or source given the credit.

Will the project grow and how will it grow? You can help it grow numerically. Even each stamouer will expand, since so many of us are descendants of the same stamouers. I can see the project and the supplied material expand to such a degree, that it will become a combined effort and it would be hard to reflect the credit in such a growing dynamic.

I have my own family web page? If you have a family web page that deals with the family please send the address of it as well.

I notice that there are some errors or material that has been left out? Please bring this to my attention and supply the appropriate material.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Even though I am not acting as the editor or censor, I still reserve the right to intervene if the need warrants it.
