Charles Prevost, SV/PROG - Flandre Project Invite

Hi Sharon,
What does SV/PROG mean on the profile? I have seen it on a few profiles but I don't understand what it means.

Thanks

The South Africans use it to indicate the first immigrant ancestor on a line. SV is the Afrikaans 'Stam Vader' =Clan Father; and PROG = progenitor. The White SA population that came to SA is such a bottleneck population that it is possible to envisage identifying them all. Hope that's helpful.

Thanks Sharon - like the Australian convict or free settler tags.
