Hi to all, I am trying to trance my mom in laws biological father, Antonie Pieter VAN AS/VAN ASS also known as Anthony Peter. We presume he was born in the late 1890's as my mom in laws mother was born in 1903. Potchefstroom area is where they stayed at the time. My mom in law was born in 1920 and is now 91 years old. The only information I have about him is that in 1931 which I got from NAAIRS is that he was a barber staying at Ockerse Street, Krugersdorp. Previously he stayed at Frankfort, Orange Free State. He had a wife and 4 children at the time. His profession was a barber and became insolvent. On my mom in laws baptismal certificate it states: DOOPCEEL: De ondergetekende, Predikant der Ned. Herv. Of Gerf. Kerk, Potchefstroom, verklaart dat het uit het Doopregister van gemetde Kerk Blykt dat, Johanna gebore 2 Dec. 1920 .......(piece torn and cannot read) een kind is van Anthonie Pieter VAN ASS & SOPHIA JOHANNA JACOBA NEL Getuigen: J.A. NEL & C.M or W. NEL Signed at Potchefstroom 31 January 1927 by D.J. Pienaar (V.D.M.) Sophia Johanna Jacoba NEL married Bartholmew Roelof Jacobus STRYDOM on 6 Nov 1922. Any information on this family would be well received. Regards, Glynis
