Welcome

Hi guys, most of you all know me, Natalie Reed and I am the Site manager of this site.

I started this family tree project purely for fun and to put together our family history for our children, before it's forgotten.

YOU ARE ALL WELCOME to add information onto the site.  The more information we have, the better and bigger the family tree will get. I'm trying to get and update as much information as possible, but it's a huge task, that's why I need your help.

So please add your details (as much as possible) - your parents, grannies and granpa's - anyone you can think of in the family, even the "In-Laws". If you are linked to the family by blood, marriage, adoption etc, you are more than welcome to add and or edit.

Dates are also important, so don't forget to add them as well.

I have managed to trace the following surnames in as much detail as possible:

  • Reed - from 1866
  • Hemphill - from +/- 1811
  • Meyer - from 1839
  • Weiblen - from 1887
  • Retif - 1602
  • Pretorius - 1680
  • Joubert - 1667
  • The rest of the surnames are more or less the current family
    • Badenhorst, Broodryk, Gouws, Daly, Kleinhans, Kelly, van der Walt, Fox, Carrick, Smal, van Vuuren etc

If you have any comments or feedback about this site, please click here to contact me.
Our family tree is posted online on this site! There are 1386 names in our family site. The earliest event is the birth of Paul Retif (1602). The most recent event is the birth of <Private> Siebert (Feb 14 2012).
The site was last updated on May 24 2012, and it currently has 53 registered member(s). If you wish to become a member too, please click here.  

Enjoy!

Posted by: Natalie Reed on Apr 18 2012 06:02

Reed may be either a surname or given name.

Reed as a surname

Reed is a variant of the surname Read, which is commonly believed to be a nickname-derived surname referring to a person''s complexion or hair being ruddy or red.

At least one example of the Reed surname, that originating in the County of Northumberland in northern England, is derived from a location, the valley of Redesdale and the River Rede that runs through it.
