Hi Pat, Amandelboom must have been near Sutherland in the Roggeveld. Sutherland is at 20 35'E and 32 25'S or as close as dammit. Smous pl Smouse = itinerant trader.

Hi to all who replied earlier. My gt grandfather was living in Loop Street. But after borrowing rather a lot of money he was declared insolvent. Part of his assets were assorted mechandise (coffee linen etc) a wagon, 9 horses 30 oxen etc which he apparently was trading with/for at Amandelboom.And my maps are quite useless. Can't find the place. You've told me it was a mission station. I really am at a loss to explain what and why he should have traded at all. What did such trading involve. Yes I am groping in the dark and blindfold...... give me some light please? I've read about the smous (smouses? smice?) and but I don't think he was one of those. Anything....
