A tree on Ancestry shows he was b Transvaal, Gauteng & married 3.1.1939 Bellville Cape Province.

Does his marriage cert give any parental details?

Have you applied for a copy of his birth cert?

There are two of them, but the one is known as Frank Wootton Rogers as well as Frank Walter Rogers. He was the one that married van Rensburg. The family insist that the two men are not the same person. Dna tests were done and the decedents of both men do not match.
The marriage certificates do not have parents names on them. I have not applied for a copy of the birth certificate. But considering contacting the NG Kerk archives to find out if there is baptisms for both.

Hi there Karyty:

I am also looking for my grandfather: a Frank Walter Rogers.. he was married to my grandma.. a Lea Jacoba van Dalen and it’s the same Frank Walter Rogers that you are looking for..

1. Did you get the birth certificate?
2. Why are you looking for him?

If you got the birth certificate could you please attach it to the message?
Thanks,

Adele Hinze (Viljoen)
