Hi Signe I'm glad you were able to find your Meintjies connection. I have not been able to find mine yet. My grandmother Hester Caroline Calitz (nee Meintjies or Meintjes) originally from Graaff Reinet lost her husband when he was only 24 during the war and left her with 2 small children, my dad and his brother. I'm thinking she probably re-married. I think her dad's name was Lambertus Meintjies. I have checked out quite a few of the normal channels but have had no luck even info on the Calitz family is really scarce. So if any of those names or similar appear on your list, please let me know Happy New Year to all Rosemary Payne (nee Calitz) Tacoma Washington-USA Calitz Meintjes Bosman Louw Moore Bell -------------------------------------------------- From: "Signe Jacobsen" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 01, 2011 6:47 AM To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [SOUTH-AFRICA-CAPE-TOWN] SOUTH-AFRICA-CAPE-TOWN Digest, Vol 6,Issue 1 > Happy New Year to all the wonderful researchers.

Good morning and all the best for 2011. I have LOUW in my family tree - my great grandmother's sister married a LOUW in the Cape Colony in about 1869. They were divorced but they did have at least two children, Mabel was the girl but I cannot recall the boys name however, all descendants of our family had MITFORD in their name. Her husband, a widower, was an older man with children and married Anna Emma JOHNSON (nee BEST) she being much younger than he. She later divorced LOUW as well and married Eraza GOODSON and stayed married to him until he died. Maybe a connection to your LOUW's Lynette from OZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "ALAN R PAYNE" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, January 02, 2011 7:17 AM Subject: Re: [SOUTH-AFRICA-CAPE-TOWN] SOUTH-AFRICA-CAPE-TOWN Digest, Vol 6,Issue 1 > Rosemary Payne (nee Calitz) > Tacoma Washington-USA > Calitz Meintjes Bosman Louw Moore Bell > >
