The Dutch East India Company sent a crew to create a Dutch settlement in the Cape of Good Hope in 1652. Many of the members of the crew belonged to the Dutch Reformed Church and created a community in Cape Town. The Church spread throughout southern Africa; a few congregations were established in Angola. Records for the Dutch Reformed Church have been maintained in good condition. The records were written in Afrikaans and English. The earliest available church records in Angola begin in 1838 and exist to 1988.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Reformed Church of East Africa," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reformed_Church_of_East_Africa, accessed 24 September 2018.</ref><ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Dutch Reformed Church," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Reformed_Church, accessed 24 September 2018.</ref> | The Dutch East India Company sent a crew to create a Dutch settlement in the Cape of Good Hope in 1652.
