This article would appear to suggest that the StamVAder is actually Wilhelm August Pistorius, not Friedrich?

Thanks Private for catching that. I can't figure out what I thought I'd seen; except there seemed to me to be two SV/PROGS and the father Friedrich Heinrich Pistorius, SV/PROG should take precedence.
Perhaps it was just cross-eyedness from it being late at night: but I can't see the problem now, as Friedrich is the SV - as he should be.
Friedrich Heinrich Pistorius - the SV/PROG emigrated from Germany to SA in 1838 with his uncle, Maximilian Ernst Ludwig Pistorius, & his 5 sons & 3 daughters on board the Cape Packet. They landed in the Cape before moving up to Natal.
This is the profile - one of the 5 sons - to whom the article refers: Carl August Pistorius
Sorry for any confusion.

Is daar iemand wat nog FOTOS het van die stamvader Friedrich Heinrich Pistorius (geb 16/03/1789) wat van Großrüdestedt Thüringen Duitsland met sy gesin in 1838 na Suidafrika geëmigreer her. Asook sy vrou Augusta LANDSBERG (geb 25/11/1792). Een van hulle 5 seuns Georg Friedrich Theodor Pistorius is my man se oupa(2x) grooitjie. Sy vrou was Maria Elisabeth VAN NIEKERK geb 17/01/1826 in Pietermaritburg. (Ook van haar ouers) Hulle dogter Maria Wilhelmina Pistoruis (geb 24/07/1861) in Rustenburg is die ma van my man se ouma.
