South Africa / Re: Anyone researching the Botes family
« on: Sunday 02 December 12 11:36 GMT (UK) »
Hi
My father was Izak Jeremia Botes born 9 May 1933
His parents was Izak Jeremia Botes a farmer from Calvinia he married a widdow by the name of Francois or it could be Francina Jacoba Magdalena van Rooyen maiden name Faul in 21 12 193.
My dad was the only Botes child from this union. Francina the widow had 11 Van Rooyen children, of which I dont have any record
Does anybodies family tree, have a record of Izak Jeremiah Botes.
I dont know how true it is but I have also had word that the Botes family tree originates from the French Hugenotes. Apperently they fled from France via Holland and changed their surname from Botace to Botes to hide their identities?
If anybody has further Information on this I will greatly appreciate the feedback.
Kind Regards
Herman Botes
