Birth

family continued to Tuli and Frederick was Baptised March 1892 at Tuli. His
birth was not registered in South Africa or Rhodesia according to a signed
affadavit on 7 February 1913 registered at the Master of the Court in Selukwe
Southern Rhodesia. Barend van der Linde Nell the eldest son of Petronella
