[ahoneybun]

Hi,

I am trying to find the parents of William August Ihlenfeldt (1898-1962) and also his children to the marriage of Hilda Martha Buchler (1901-1972)

They lived in the Stutterheim area.

Hi

I searched he NAAIRS databases and cannot see a deah record for either of his couple - however here are some "August Ihlenfeld" records that could be relatives:

 MOOC  13/1/7179  445  IHLENFELDT, HERMANN AUGUST WILHELM. LIQUIDATION AND DISTRIBUTION  1932 1932

If you are in SA it is easy to order these from the Cape Archives - they charge about 80c (South African) a sheet. The website to go to is http://www.national.archives.gov.za/index.htm

Hi there,
William August Ihlenfeldt of Stutterheim was my great grandfather. He was married to Hilda Martha nee Buchler. He had a son called Benjamin who was my grandfather, who died from suicide in the 70s. William also had a daughter called Irene, there may have been other siblings but I'm not completely sure.
