    2. Hello All, How many times is it said "ask and ye shall receive" ? The suggested link from Howard has set us off on another journey of discovery of a branch of our family tree that has as yet to be fully researched. Then again after many decades of this searching business we are not getting too excited just yet. The omission in my initial post was that our kin being sought were Jacques and his brother Jean. And look what turns up on the first attempt. The Berg China left Rotterdam March 20, 1688, arrived Table Bay August 4, 1688, 160 feet long, carrying 175 passengers, 19 people died, & 50 sick people on board on arrival in Table Bay Jacques Roy Jean Roy These two were among the 34 Huguenots aboard. Well it is a start and who knows where it will take us, to Ille Bourbon (Le Reunion) with some luck. Thank you very much Howard Kind Regards, Peter Leroy
