Hi there

I don't know if this will help, but my g-grandmother's maiden name was
LINEQUE. I've asked my Gran (who is now in her 80's) and all she can
remember was her mom's name: Martha Petronelia Birthdate 22-Sept, but can't
remember the year anymore. She got married to a Michael Coenrad Erasmus
(Gran can't remember any dates). They had my Gran -Anna Alleta Johanna
(There are other brothers and sisters - I'd have to find out- I promised
someone else the names but haven't had the time) who married a Nicolaas
Johannes Christoffel van Helsdingen. My Gran and Grandfather had 2
children Nicolaas Johannes Christoffel and Martha Petronelia. My dad
Nicolaas Johannes Christoffel married Jean Rosemary (Nee Ross - adopted
{Natural mothers surname - Stockley})

I don't know how far you want to go. I unfortunately haven't got that far
yet. I've just started and I'm just trying to concentrate on the van H's
for now. If you want more info I'll try and find out, but I always seem to
run out of time lately. I'll keep you in my "as soon as I find out file
-) )

I plan on getting my Grandmother - fathers full birth cert. then I'll be
able to get more accurate dates for you.

Charmaine
