No. There is an Oudshoorn family descended from Willem Oudshoorn (arrived before 1730). There is also the van Rheede van Oudtshoorn family descended from (Baron) Pieter vRvO arrived 1741. The vRvO family in South Africa has always had that name, it is not a splinter of some other family.

Thank you for the reply. I always read your posts. I am looking for a very specific person. His first name given elsewhere was 'Donie' and then 'Dornie', which I am assuming is probably 'Danie'. The [van Rheede van Oudtshoorn] family is a specific Oudtshoorn family that married into van Rheede family etc. I do not know if he is part of that vRvO family. This person I am calling Danie van Oudtshoorn, was probably b:1930-1937 or so, probably South Africa. 1958: Probably living in (Lusaka?) Zambia or thereabouts, a mechanic there. I am stuck on this one, can everybody help here ?. B.S. ==========================
