Title: van Wyk's in Belfast
Post by: Karytay on Monday 20 October 14 08:53 BST (UK)

I am looking for a cousin of my father, Ignatius Daniel van Wyk he was born and live on a farm near Soffberg. His parents were Alexander Daniel Ross van Wyk and Emma. He had a sister Emma who they called Empy.
Ignatius first worked as a telephonist at the post office in Stoffberg, then as a telephonist at Belfast were he got married. He was known as Naas.
I have no date's at all for him or even know if he was the eldest. I do know he was younger than my Dad who was born in 1923.
