Opgedra aan ons stammoeders
Die persone wat genoem word “eggenoot van ...” is almal vrouens wie se mans reeds in die Kolonie oorlede is en as gesinshoof of gewoon saam met haar kinders aan die Trek deelgeneem het. Waar “vrou van ...” genoem word, is dit ’n blote indeksering van die vrou omdat haar man reeds alfabeties in die hooflys of teks verskyn.
Die woord stamouers is nogal problematies: by ons in Suid-Afrika word dit verstaan dat dit die oorspronklike ouerpaar is wat na Suid-Afrika gekom het. Skrywer het die term Voortrekkerstamouers gebruik in die sin dat dit die ware Trekkers of vroegste Trekkergesinshoofde was en nie hulle kinders of afstammelinge nie. Hier slaan dit dus ook op die woord “oorspronklike”, hoewel nie die ware stamouers van die familie nie. In ’n paar gevalle was daar wel ware stamouers van ’n familie wat Voortrekkers geword het, soos enkele Nederlanders en Duitsers. Gewoonlik is hulle meegesleur deur die trekaksie omdat hulle vrouens en skoonouers meegegaan het en hulle hul mettertyd volkome met die Trekkers se ideale vereenselwig het. — dr. Jan Visagie, skrywer
