Izelle’s father — the point where three generations of the Marthinus Petrus name converge. His paternal grandfather was Marthinus Petrus du Plessis (1878–1963); one of that grandfather’s own sons was another Marthinus Petrus Jr. (b. 1908 Luckhoff). Izelle’s father, born 1952, carries the same name a third time.
His 1952 birth sits in the privacy-protected, sparsely-indexed band of South African civil records, but his parents are established two ways: by his own family testimony and by the 1951 Koffiefontein civil marriage record one generation above.
