Yes it was their youngest son born in South Africa.
  I am his sister  Liesje

Hi,
The only records I am finding ......
John Gerrit coming to the UK for 2 weeks with Elaine.
Gerrit, his probate record.
When I search Klipfontein  and South Africa....no results.
It seems there are quite a few people searching for this information, in other sites.
Sorry but that is all I could find.

I am also stuck there and no ships lists for the  Klipfontein. Was there anything of interest in John Gerrit's probate record or Gerrit's probate record ?
