Looking for Information?

I am looking for information on my ancestors. My dad was Dirk Johannes Booysen, born 14 September 1929 in Beaufort West (passed away on 9 August 1989 in Welkom). He grew up in Danielskuil and also lived in Kimberley. I believe he was the youngest of 11 children, however, I only knew a few uncles and aunts. Two of my father's sisters were Dorothea Booysen and Hester Booysen. The only brother of my dad whom I ever met was Benjamin Booysen. My father's parents were James Jacob Frederick Booysen and Dorothea Grobbelaar.
If anyone can help with information, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi everyone.

I am looking for my father, however do not know much about him.

I know that he met my mother in Zeerust, he is quite tall and i think he's blond-ish. I believe that he has remarried some time ago and has a younger daughter... possibly 13 or 14 years of age now.

My mothers name was Ria Van Der Westhuizen, but she has re-married now.

I am 20years old, turning 21 on the 19th of September, blond hair and blue eyes.

If you by any chance know where he is or how i can go about finding him, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

It kills me every day not knowing where i come from.

Ek is Jan Johannes Booysen gebore 06/10/1949 te Paterson (Oos Kaap) en het grootgeword op Ugie en Stellenbosch.
Ek is op soek na enige inligting rakende my vader (oorlede in 1950), sy vader en moeder en enige broers of susters.
My vader is Jan Johannes Booysen (*17/8/1912)(+18/2/1950)en het moontlik in Port Elizabeth grootgeword. Hy was in die polisiediens en gestasioneer in Grahamstad en Paterson. Hy het moontlik nog 'n broer en suster gehad.
Sy vader (my oupa), van Port Elizabeth, was moontlik ook in die polisiediens. Ek weet wel dat hy 'n oogklap gedra het en oor die negentig was met sy dood.
My vader was getroud met Elizabeth Jacoba (Toyce) Jacobs (*4/6/1924) (+17/12/1990)van Ugie en het 5 kinders gehad, naamlik Piet (30/9/1943), Ria (8/10/1944), Chris (27/10/1945), Rina (15/5/1947) en Jannie (6/10/1949).
Ek is tans besig om die Booysen en Jacobs stambome te ontrafel en sal enige inligting baie waardeer
