Gezina Elizabeth Botha b.c1827

Nothing on my tree, but will have to go through the paperwork of the original one that I received it was very detailed so not all went into my tree, just immediate line, but we do cross paths with the Botha's quite often, so here's hoping.....

I got your PMs, 3sillydogs - thank you !! But I don't know how to reply to a PM - I couldn't see a reply button, so I clicked the send button, which may mean that I just sent you your own message !! Sorry about that - senility looms

No worries.

It looks as if that site has vanished, asked my Nerd what the error message meant and he checked it out where ever it is these IT guys check out stuff and he said the site doesn't exist anymore.

But tomorrow is another day.....

Oh joy ! I found Gezina Elizabeth vRooyen's DN ! But ........ both her daughter's surnames are Botha in the Distribution Acc. So, sadly, it doesn't prove one way or the other whether her dau Gezina married a Botha or a Pretorius - although I'm pleased to see that there's no "Jacoba" in her daughter's name.

Oh well .... at least my persistent searching paid off 

[3sillydogs]

That's wonderful, where did you track it down to?  Despite all my looking I couldn't find it!!!

[Kinsy]

It was filed under her 2nd husband's surname !!

[Kinsy]

Oh, sorry - just looked at it again, and it wasn't filed under his name - filed under her own surname. We must have just been using the wrong combinations of spellings in her first names

I see it is also the historical spelling of van Rooyen, van Rooijen.  Trying to have a read of it, but have downloaded it so I can enlarge it properly and read the bottom bit that was hand written.  It mentions a grandson.

But that will have to be tomorrow project ......
