Dorothy Mowlam I cant give you much on the Therons at the moment. I can tell you, though, that Hester Petronella THERON, *1866 +1890, was the 1st wife of Frederick William CHURCH * 1860 Swellendam, having 3 children. He then married her sister, Margaretha Elizabeth * 1868 and they had 3 daughters.
Samuel CHURCH * 1865 Swellendam, a brother of Frederick William CHURCH, married Hendrina Johanna VOGEL * 1867, at Lady Gray 1887. Hendrina Johanna VOGEL was a cousin of the THERON sisters.
My main reseach is the CHURCH family - descended from James Luke CHURCH, 1820 Settler

Marcel Smit Hello Dorothy,

after your request for information:"Hi Marcel, Could you please tell me if you have any connection with the VAN DER SCHYFF family in south africa." I have asked my family. So far they know the family name was always "van der Spek" and we do not knot if someone has emigrated to South Africa.

Yours sincerely,

Marcel

Dorothy Mowlam There are a few VD SPEK on the www.national.archives.gov.za site if you want to have a look and see if they are from your family.
Once you have opened the page, go to search NAAIRS and then click on RSA and type in the name in the first line.
