This site contains information on over 1,400 individuals, being our ancestors and their close relatives, from both the paternal and maternal lines. (See top 15 surnames on this page).
South African roots are traced back to the South African settlement years (1660 - 1720) and in some cases to The Netherlands as early as 1605.
Australia and New Zealand roots are traced back to the New Zealand settlement years (1840 - 1880) and in some cases to 1740s Scotland.
More recent members of the family have roots in Cuba, Poland and the USA.
A large part of the information is visible to the public because I had the benefit of other on-line resources during my own research and I know that research is both time consuming and potentially costly. I hope that the information contained here will be of benefit to other researchers. Information I obtained on-line is referenced and the terms of use of the original publisher (owner) apply. Information open to casual browsing is limited to people long deceased.
Some information is Private due to the personal nature of information collected for genealogical purposes. Information of living or recently deceased people is limited to known family members (who are required to be registered users to gain access to that information).
Hope this information is of interest or and/or use.
