I have received information that there is a Nicolaas Johannes Booysen - son of Johannes Booysen (Bap 3 March 1737) and Elizabeth Haarhof (Baptised 16 February 1766) Aparently he was married to Anna Ingenessa (Angenessa) Scheepers.
I can find no other record confirming this child. Even Heese and Lombard do not record this child.

We have a Wilhelmina Thuisina Lehman in our family tree. Lehman is not a common South African name but I am unable to trace any of her family.

Just spent a fantastic week in the Kambaku Safari Lodge. This lodge is situated in the Timbavati next to the Kruger Park. The Big 5 in five days. What a great experience

Wilhelmina Elizabeth Johanna Booysen.
Andrew has sent an email looking for more information of the ancestors of Wilhelmina Elizabeth Johanna Booysen. He writes “she was born on 6 Mar 1892 in the Cape and married my grandfather Felix Harold Lavarack in Jo’burg in 1919. I have a note that her father was Ben but not sure if this is correct.”
Is there anyone out there that can help

I have been sent some information on a new branch of the Booysen family tree.
Daniel Johannes Booysen married to Dorothy Smith - no dates available. They had a son Dennis Booysen - born 5 October 1934. I need to find the parents of this D J Booysen

A family member has found a photograph of a Great Grand parent with her names on the back so Francina Carolina Gustava Olivier has now been placed in the correct position in the family tree. I have a picture of a gravestone in the Graaff-Reinet cemetry showing that a Francina Carolina Olivier was married to a Barend Johannes Joubert (born 1834). Now all I need is the evidence that that the person in the photo is the same as the one on the tombstone.
I have also found a Barend Johannes Joubert (Born 1808) that lived in Graaff-Reinet. Is this the father?
Need to do some more research to see if I can link these people.

Visited Graaff-Reinet to see if we could find some new family roots. Found another son of Johan Hendrik Booysen (Johan Hendrik Booysen Jnr), which means that there could be some closer relatives around that we did not know about.

I have set up both PhpGedView and Dynamic Family Tree Compilier to present the Booysen family tree. This software is open source and freeware respectively. I am not sure which one I prefer. The former is more sophisticated and the latter simpler to use.

I have found software that allows you to publish a family tree - so the first section of the Booysen genealogy has already been published on the website. It includes most of the information of the current generations. Please add any missing information of the Booysen family here.
