Hi there, does anybody have info about the Botes family from Phillipstown. My great grandfather, Antonie Botes and his wife, Gertie Botes lived there, my grand father Wiets Jacobus Karel Christiaan Botes was born and raised there and my father was born and raised there. I'm missing a few puzzle pieces in this family tree.

Regards
Monica Nagy (nee Botes)

Hey there,

I am looking for information on my Great-Grandfather (his parents/grandparents).

Andries Johannes BOTES (Great-Grandfather)
Born 8 October 1897, Brandfort, Free State, South Africa
Died:  31 August 1949, Christiana, North West, South Africa
Married:  (Date?) Bultfontein, Vrystaat
               Isabella Hendrika ENSLIN (Great-Grandmother)
               Born:  17 March 1900
               Died:  2 September 1955

On MyHeritage site it said Andries Johannes Botes was the child of:
Wiets Jacobus BOTES 1875-1921 and,
Johanna Maria Magdalena (born MAAS) 1841-1899
but according to my research he is not their child, according to online information and according to the text book Suid-Afrikaanse Geslagsregister/South African Genealogies.

Any information will help.
Thank you  :)
Gous, Botes, Enslin, van Wyk, Erasmus, Liebenberg, Petersen, van Zyl, Nel, Vermaak, Schoeman

Hi Monica,

This is Lucius Botes. My father was your Grandfather's Brother, Anthonie Botes.
I spent many an hour with your Grand Dad, Wiets, who loved flying pigeons. His wife Monica, Whos name you got came from Prieska. She was a lovely and kind woman.
Who is your dad Anton, Wiets, Ian or Freddie?

I also attended your grandfather's funeral in philipstown. He was buried the sam eday as Ouma Gertie.

Regards

Lucius

Hi Lorraine & others
I am in the process tracing my paternal grandparents and have reached PGP2 level. 
That is my great great grandmother.  She was Maria Magdalena Johanna Botes (born 22 November 1869 in Prince Albert and died on 18 February 1923 in Johannesburg).  I have her death notice and church baptism record.
I would like to source details of her parents Andries Stephanus Lourens Botes and Johanna Philippina Catharina Marias.  They are my PGP3.  Other than these details l have no record of birthdates, deaths and their respective parents.
Assuming they were part of the Botes family who took part in the Great Trek 1835-1838 they would have been children at the start of the trek or were born during the trek. 
As I understand from this post, 16 families of Botes set out on the Great Trek.
Would appreciate any input that will assist me further.
Many thanks in anticipation
John

HI. I don`t know if the Thread is still active. I am just dipping my toes in the Botes family pond and it already seems like a hell of a task.  I am sorry to say that I hardly know my fathers Family, I am still trying to find out what my grand dads names were. So for now I am going to read all the threads and when I have more info I hope someone on this thread can steer me in a direction. Wish me luck
