Peter can you please help me
My grandfather, Barend van Rensburg was married to a Rachel de Kock in
1922 and had a child the same year, so would have been a half brother or
sister to my father who was born the following year to the same father.
Could you please give me the address of Prof de Kock so that I can write
to him and see if he has come across Rachel.
Thank you
Michelle Hunt
