I'm trying to find more info of Johanna Louisa de Vries nee Janse(n) van Rensburg.
Birth 06/05/1892 ??? possibly Mossel Bay area
Death 01/02/1960 Riversdale
I have a photo of her grave in the Riversdale Cemetery. She was married to my paternal grandfather, Johannes Gysbertus de Vries and was my dad's STEPMOM. I think they married late in life and she could've been a spinster or married before. My family who would've had the answers have all passed away.
Thanks
Thelma

Father - Izak Johannes Janse van Rensburg 1857 - ?
Mother - Anna Margaretha Sofia de Jager
I will add a link here when I have it sorted.
Johanna Louisa de Vries (f10g6) South African Genealogies have her birth date as 2nd May 1892, bapt 3 July 1892 Riversadal. I have merged your tree into the main JvR tree on Geni. I will see if I can find out anything about Anna Margaretha Sofia de Jager
This appears to be her Death Notice although she is said to have been born Janse van Rensburg.

The first child listed is Anna Maria Sophia married to Izak Johannes Janse van Rensburg
So perhaps SAG have made an error - I will dig some more!!
WOW, thanks June. I haven't had a chance to research this weekend. I've gone through GISA's Van Rensburg's section TWICE as my father in law is Van Rensburg as well as my mother in law's mother, but couldn't find anything. I was 5 when my dad's stepmom passed away. What I do remember is her being bedridden, the room being dark and my mother used to call her Miss Johanna. I'll stay in contact with you. By the way, I got the birthdate from her tombstone so it could be incorrect. I will check in the Bible I've got that has newspaper cuttings in of family deaths, but I don't think hers is there. Thanks Thelma
