The Puzzle is missing some pieces
February 22nd, 2006
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.

I have now confirmed that Barend Joubert, born 1834 was indeed the husband of F C Olivier. I have been given a photograph of the 2 with the names on the back. Now to get the next generation above that linked.

Hi,
I came across your info whilst searching the internet as I am trying to establish my ancestors.
My father was Frans Joubert, his mother was Francina Joubert. Francina was married to Barend Joubert, who was the son of Barend Johannes Joubert.
Barend Johannes was (?) the son of Josua Joachim Joubert.
Francina was the daughter of J.F. Olivier.
Barend and Francina had seven children.
Barend Joubert was born in 1837 at Graaff Reinet and married to Francina in 1863. He was educated at Graaf Reinet. He took a prominet part in Municipal affairs, and retured due to old age.
I have copies of documents relating to the farm on which they lived and worked etc. and would dealy love to exchange copies of these documents with you for a copy of that photograph you have of the two of them.
Lew.
