My husband's ancestors, Richard Joseph HUMPHREYS
and Ann WATSON came to South Africa in 1826. thye had
several older children with them and a daughter, Sarah
Hope HUMPHREYS was born on the ship Hope, 10 Aug 1826.
William HUMPHREYS was born in 1831 in Grahamstown, Cape
Colony.<br>Another son, our ancestor, Joseph Richard HUMPHREYS, born
1820 in London, married Apr 1842 in Grahamstown to
Charlotte E.POULTON, dau of John POULTON and Ann HEATH.
They had 9 children, the 8th being born on the ocean
emigrating to America, and the last born in Iowa crossing
the plains to Utah as they had joined the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints in South Africa.<br>I
have lots of info on their descendants and some of
their ancestry, but lack any info on they stay in South
Africa. Would like some help on how to proceed. Would
like to make contact with any relatives still in South
Africa.<br>Pat and Douglas Lowe, Woodbury Minnesota

I am trying to establish the parents of my "ouma"
Susara Maryna Delport who married Willem Benjamin
Krynauw. She was born in either Cape Town or Potchefstroom
but I have been unable to trace that missing link
that would allow for me to have the "rest of the
family" in line through to Jacques and Sara (previously
Vitout) DeLaPorte

I have very little information about my
ancestor's time in South Africa. But, from what I have
heard, this is where my last name was "born". As the
stories go (unfortunately the tellers have all passed
away), either the name Tyrell-Smith was formed for
social reasons or there were too many Smiths (hard to
believe!) and first and last names were combined: Tyrell
Smith became Tyrell Tyrell-Smith.<br>This all happened
four or five generations ago.<br>Any clues?<br>Thank
you.<br>Patrick Tyrell-Smith<br>Phoenix, Arizona, USA

I was at SACSin Cape Town and was taught
geography by a Geof Dennis. He was a short man with a
wonderful skill at teaching and also the ability to shout
very loudly. I left school in 1962 so I do not know if
he is still alive. The South African College School
in CT might be able to help you. I also recall that
he lived in Springbok Rd in Green Point. Good Luck

I am currently doing research on both sides of my
family. If any one can help with details of the Bossenger
family ie the descendants and antecedants of Charles
Jacobus B, John Johannes B and Peter Frederick B who date
from the mid 1800s or the descendants and antecedants
of Arthur Herbert Nowell who came to this country in
+- 1895 and married a Gertrude Ethel Vine in Cape
Town I will be grateful.

There is a great article that deals in part with  the Isandhlwana disaster in
the recent Olympics edition of National Geographic.

Looking for descendants of John NORVAL who
arrived in South Africa as a Moodie Settler in 1817. Also
for any information about Francis Alexander NORVALL
who arrived in or about the early 1870s. He married a
Mary TROY in Pietermaritzburg c1880, and had three
children by this marriage, including a daughter who taught
school in Natal round about the turn of the century.

Looking for information on Dugald MacPhail born

to SA. Had large family: maybe Thelma,Irene,Jacko,
Queenie, Joyce & ?? Joyce=Miss SA/Johannesburg in 1937.

Will share info.<br>sakg@...

I am looking for Margaret Patterson born<br>about
1840 to 1870 in Natal, South Africa.<br>I am
interested in her descendants, <br>her ancestors, and
particularly wish to note whether there is any evidence that
she, or a namesake left South Africa prior to 1919.

Can anyone please tell me where I can obtain
information on German Settlers to SA (East London area) .
Specifically my grandparents, Robert and Martha Birkholtz.
Please contact: Bobby at: armcdt@...

I'd be glad to hear from any descendents of my
great uncles Frederick Murdock White and Archibald
Claude White who went as young men from Australia to
South Africa early in the 1900s (I think). One or both
may have been in the police. Can provide some
information on their parents and siblings in return.

Trying to trace origins of my great grandmother Maryna Johanna Vorster born
Middlefontein, Burghersdorp on  27th July 1859.  Cannot find her birth on IGI

My grandmother, Sarah Ann Jackson, was born in
Bloemfontein on January 16, 1909. Her birth father, (1st name
unknown) Jackson married Emmey Fredericka (last name
unknown and born abt. 1883). They had four children -
John Abraham, George Smith, Eileen Wilhelmina and
Sarah Ann between abt. 1903 and 1909. Emmey's husband
left her and she remarried Charles Avery Nord. The
family emigrated to Canada in 1915. Charles or "Chas"
Nord was born Karl Arvid Nilsson Nord in Sweden.
Charlie was living in Canada when he enlisted in the
Canadian Contingent of the South African Constabulary.
During the SA War he was stationed in Bloemfontein. I
believe it is here that he must have met and married
Emmey. Emmey's second son, George, was born in
Kimberley.<br>On April 1, 2000 I wrote a letter to the Registrar
of Births, Deaths and Marriages in Pretoria, but as
yet have not heard anything. As I continue to be
patient, I was wondering if any other members might know
something of this family or could offer me any suggestions.
Thank you.<br>Debbie Wilson <br>Edmonton,
Alberta<br>Canada

This is a real long shot, but I am hoping someone
can help me. The only information I have is from my
grandfsther's WW1 Asstestation Papers, when he joined the
Canadian Army in 1915. His name was Sidney Stanley
LEIGHTON and he states that his next of kin was Ben
LEIGHTON living at 78 Market St., Boksburg, Transvaal,
S.A. This was in Feb. 1915. I have no idea if this was
his father, brother or what. Any information or any
leads to where I might find information would be really
appreciated.<br>Sandra

Good luck to everyone with the new club
!<br>Could I ask your help in trying to trace my long-lost
relative Rabbi Ephraim (Avram-Itse) Moisievic who left
Seda, Lithuania for England c 1890 and then left for
South Africa c1900. Family legend says he became Chief
Rabbi of South Africa, but I have never been able to
trace either him or his descendants (I know he had at
least one son and one daughter). I also believe he died
c 1930, probably in the Cape. Can anyone out there
help ?<br>With thanks and best wishes<br>Derek

Would anyone have knowledge of Susanna Rebecca
Ebbett Honeyfield who was born 18 Mar 1842 in St. Agnes,
Cornwall, England. Her parents were Sarah Maria Wilkins and
William Ebbett. Susanna married a Mr. Honeyfield, first
name unknown, and emigrated to South Africa. She died
1 May 1909 as far as I know, probably in South
Africa.<br>Any information about Susanna, her husband and any
children they may have had, and their life in South Africa
would be greatly appreciated.<br>Thank
you,<br>Carolyn<br>E-mail address: aus4nz@...

Many thanks for your interest and help - I'll write to the addresses you
provided - I may strike lucky!

I'd like to help in a small way, by checking at
leaset the current Johannesburg telephone
directory.<br>Sargint: No exact spelling<br>Alternatives: Sargeant and
Sargent (5 listings each in Johannesburg
area).<br>Clarke: about 110 listings in Johannesburg<br>Lawlor: 11
listings in Johannesburg<br>Please advise if you require
particular listings.

The club founder may be of more help, but I did
find listings for Huddlestone in the current
Johannesburg phonebook: <br>O.L. Huddlestone 11 Bossman Road.
Ophirton, 2091<br>R.C. Huddlestone Malplaquetweg 27,
Robertsham,2091<br>T.J. Huddlestone 42 Newport Road, Parkwood,
2193<br>Best of Luck.

My relative Vera May Dennis (b. 1916) from
England married John William Huddlestone in 1956. I
believe they lived in Transvaal. Information about them
or descendents (if any) would be appreciated.

Hope this club gets lots of members. <br>Some of
my SARGINT kin are supposed to have gone to S
Africa, around 1900 - Bevan and Marion Sargint, son and
daughter of Thomas Dancer SARGINT, born 31 Mar 1869 in
Cahir, Tipperary, Ireland, and his wife Ethel Mathilda
LAWLOR (I have a vague feeling, no more, that Ethel was
a S African). Marion Sargint became Mrs CLARKE, and
had a son, Tony, according to my grandmother (my
notes made at the time during conversations with her,
thirty years ago).<br>Would love to connect with any
descendants. My gt grandmother was an older sister of Thomas
Dancer Sargint.

Please feel welcome to link your site/s to this
one so that we can get as many people as possible
helped with their queries. The response to my message on
Roots was so fantastic - thanks to all that sent in an
e-mail, plse be patient for your reply as my e-mail was
jammed and I am busy doing the reseach (which is so
fascinating).<br><br>Regards - Marlene Hoar

Hmmm...this could be interesting. I have been
tracing the history of my family in Pomerania, South
Africa and beyond for over ten years now. I look forward
