I wonder if you can help me dear. I don't know who else to ask or turn to for help. If you can't help maybe you will know who I could email and ask. I am at my wits end. I am trying to find or trace my Great Great Grandpa. His son's name was Isaac Berkowitz on his Birth Certificate. Nothing mentioned of his father' or mother's name. We are told that they came via ship (no name) to Cape Town (no date). Pokroi was mentioned. His birth Certificate says he was born 10.06.1876 date of death 18.12.1944 in Enkeldoon in Zimbabwe. He did marry a afrikaans lady - Martha Sopha Magdalena Bosman her date of birth was 19.09.1873 in Cape Colony (RSA) and date of death 29.11.1947 in Enkeldoorn in Zimbabwe. I will be greatful for any help with this project. I don't know of any brothers or sisters etc There was talk of an adoptive brother - also in South Africa, who changed his surname and disowned the family once the brother married an afrikaans lady. Latvia, Poland, maybe pakruojis (Lithuania) does that make any sense? Sorry to be a nuisance as I don't know what else to do, dear.
