Elizabeth Venter - Concert Pianist
« on: Wednesday 01 July 09 02:35 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any information on Elizabeth Venter, who was a concert Pianist and played the Piano on the radio in the 50's & 60's? Elizabeth's father was one
De Wet Theodorus Venter and her mother was Gebrecht Elizabeth Adriana Kruger (whom I believe to be the granddaughter of Paul Kruger (but need to find the connection)
Any information will be of help.

Cheers,
Piesang

Hello Piesang 34

You are fortunate, as so many have already researched "Oom" Paul Kruger already.  There are many sites with his family tree.   ::)

His first wife was Maria du Plessis, but she and their infant son died, possibly from Malaria.

His second wife, Gezina du Plessis, bore him 17 children, many of whom died before reaching adulthood.    :-\

Try googling "Oom" Paul Kruger and check out all the leads, you are bound to find your connection!   8)

Cheers
