Hi,
I visited my brother yesterday and he has a grave next to his hous. Do you
know about it?
Inscription is in Dutch I think. I don't understand it all.
Liefdes onser flyk

Hester Johanna Joubert ( could be Iohanna Ioubert)
nee De Villiers
geboren den 3 November 1771
Oorlede den 22 Maart 1807

...Roeg wijd door kindern

Hester Suzanna
Maria Johanna Joubert
Do you have anything on her? I can't find it on the internet., Farm is
called Rowan, not sure of spelling, seems to have belonged to Simon Van
der Stell.
It is near Somerset West and the area is due for major developement. I am
afraid the grave may be lost.
I have a couple of photos but still need to see if they are clear.
I can be contacted o/h 021 404 4356 Mon to Fri. House also needs Heritage
protection if not already done.
I am researching Prinsloo and Bezuidenhout so find family history
important to preserve.
Sincerely,
Sr. C. Grehan at G. S. H.
(ED Anyone out there perhaps looking for a missing link?)
