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.
