Hi There
Broekman, Knoetze, Vd Merwe, Koen,Kock,Koekemoer,Bouwer
If anybody is somehow related to these surnames please join in.

Susanna Christina Broekman married Gert Petrus Jacobus Van der Merwe. 2 October 1919

Elsie Susanna Aletta Knoetze married Daniel Johannes Broekman
I have a "begrafnislijst" written by her sister of their father Adriaan Frederick Knoetze who died 19 August 1895. As well as an old bible with their mothers and the other childrens names. I would like to know the birth dates. They had a farm Rietfontijn near Kirkwood.

My parents Cornelia Embrentia Koen married Frederick Wilhelm Vd Merwe. I dont have much luck on the Koens her grandfather was Adam Johannes married to Isabella Elizabeth Roelofsen. They are originally from Knysna area.

Maternal grandparents Cornelia Magaretha Johanna Kock married Christiaan Lourens Johannes Koen. d.o Alexander Hendrik Kock and Hester Petronella Koekemoer.
d.o Dawid Gerhardus? Koekemoer and Magrieta Susanna Johanna Bouwer born 15-12-1853 d.o Karel Jacobus Bouwer and Hester Carolina Petronella Kock married 23/10/1848.
Any info on these would be aprreciated.
