Hi,
Ive been working on the South African side of my tree for a while from the other direction & have come to two differing ‘stories’ about the origin of the family in the Cape - the first is that it originates with an immigrant from the Netherlands, the other that is is a Boerisation of Frieslich from Poland/Germany about the same time (mid 1700’s)
Could I ask what if any documents you have been able to uncover linking Albertus Vrieselaar to ‘Frieslaar’?
Thanks Loads!
Gavin
