[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study deals with the Coreejes family over the past 200 years. Genealogical andcultural historical research methods were used to conduct this research.Anthonio(y) Coreejes, ancestor of the Coreejes family, came from Livomo, Tuscany(Italy) and settled in the district of Stellenbosch. He was a wine farmer and a cooper. Onthe 26th of October 1800 he married Anna Magdalena Delport, daughter of GerhardusIgnatius De1port and Maria Susanna Odendaal. Four children were born out of thismarriage: two daughters and two sons.The Coreejes family was a very small family, who in the 19th century made a living bycultivating agricultural products and trading with them. In the 20th century, various warssuch as the Anglo-Boer War and the two world wars, had an influence on the day to daylife of this family. After World War II life changed dramatically, a fact which was interaliareflected in name giving customs. The tradition of naming amongst Afrikaansspeaking people, had become less important in this family and previous naming traditionsgave way to more indirect name giving, thereby indicating people's creativity andadaptability. The social importance of names is discussed and this is merely one aspectof the philosophy ofa group ofpeople.People have been conducting genealogical research for many centuries. In South Africait is a popular pastime, however the female line of descendants are seldom researched.The purpose of this research is to give a complete picture of the Coreejes family,including the male and female descendants since 1800.
