Hey there!
Messaging from Ireland, And I too am curious to find out more about William van Reyk as I believe I may be of his lineage.
My grandmother is Winnifred Melrose van Reyk, whose father was a William van Reyk and died in 1946 in India.
Essentially I'm on a quest to hopefully trace family members who are alive today and who I am yet to meet. Any help much appreciated!
