I am looking for anybody that has any information of the Barnard family history in South Africa. My Grandfather was Christiaan Barnard he was born in the 1900's. My Grandmother was Agatha Sher and she would have been born around the same time.
They had 8 children and I think they lived in the Free State, so please if anybody has got any info let me know.
Can anyone help me tracing my ancestors? I'm looking for any info regarding Hermanus Hendrik Steyn (could also possibly be Hermanus Johannes Steyn) married to Martha Maria Sophia Schoeman (born about 1872). Would really appreciate any help! Thanks!
While researching the HEYNS ancestors, I came across a Hermanus STEYN (1784 - 1836) who was married to Maria Catharina VOGEL (1758 - 1803). They had a son Johannes born 1803. Presumably the wife died at childbirth. This information was extracted from the SA Geslagsregister. You may wish to go to Smartmatches on this site, if you are familiar with the application.
I am not from the Steyn family but my mother was re married to a Steyn, Do you know where your family lifed and where they passed away? The Steyns I know lifes in Springs on the East Rand.
I think they might originally be from the Freestate. I've asked a family member, so will let you know for sure once I know. But it seems like all the Steyns in SA are related somehow.
If any one has data relating to Francois Hugo HEYNS who was born 1821 in the vicinity of Hopefield, Cape Province and married to Susanna DE GOEDE, I'd be grateful if you would contact me.
Hi, I'm looking for information on John Blackey (Born 13 January 1821, Glasgow, Scotland, Died 2 October 1870, Vanheerdensdam, District Bloemfontein) He married Maggel Johanna Catharina van der Merwe (Born 1830, Colesberg, and Died 20 January 1863, Vanheerdensdam, district Fauresmith) I know they had a daugter Jane Esther Blackey (born 26 September 1850, died 1934) who married Johannes Hendrik van Niekerk (died 1910) John and Maggel also had another daughter Helena Elizabeth Blackey.
If there is any more info on John Blackey, his children etc. I would like to know if there were any other children and more info on the abovementioned people.
