Swart Family
« on: Saturday 30 March 19 17:30 GMT (UK) »
Hello.....help wanted please. I'm looking for my mother in laws family.

Her name was Catherina Johanna Bergh....born Swart in Bredasdorp in 1924. Father possibly Michiel Christoffel Swart (+-1900 to 1960) and mother possibly Gertruida Anna Johanna Swart....born van Dyk. She died in Bredasdorp in 1926. Any info would be appreciated. Many thanks  :)

Family Search is good for South African records, as is, of course, Eggsa.

Sorry, I'm in England  :'(

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

Unless there were 2 of them:
Gertruida Anna Johanna van Dyk  abt 1888-1925 was married to Michiel Casparus Swart (most likely born before 1891)
