I'm relatively new to genealogy and very new to doing genealogy in South
Africa. I am looking for information on Louis Valentine De Villiers, who
was born on 14 June 1883 in Wynberg, Cape Province at the time called Cape
Colony. His parents were John Henry De Villiers and Marie Haveland. He
died on 22 Nov 1918 here in New Zealand. The information I have is from
his death certificate and I would like to get confirmation of the details
as there is doubt over it's accuracy. Family legend has it that he left
South Africa in disgrace, something possibly to do with the Boer war.

Can anyone out there help me find more info, what resources there are etc?

Thanks in advance
