Hi Attela.  Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.  I have applied to join the Facebook group you mentioned in your last post.  I have tried attaching to this post the 2 papers I mentioned last time and a couple of family trees, but the files are too large to do that here.  If we make contact through the Facebook group, we can work out a way for me to send them to you via email or somehow.
As I said last time, I am a great great great grandson of George Alexander, through his son Louis George von Bratt Reynolds, then Pieter Reynolds, my grandfather Lawrence Reynolds and father Marius Reynolds.  Pieter and Lawrence had farms in the Karoo, near Beaufort West.  My father emigrated to England in the 1950s.
At some point I want to work on a fuller family tree of GAR's descendants in South Africa and it seems you will have much of the Engels branch! 
Best wishes, Peter

Hello Adri

My name is Peter Reynolds aand I am the great great great grandson of George Alexander Reynolds (I think that's the right number of greats!).  I live in England - my parents emigrated (back) to the UK from South Africa in the1950s, although we still have lots of family and friends in South Africa.  I am essentially from the same side of the Reynolds family as Dom (Hi Dom!)  I am gradually getting interested in the family's history.  I am interested that you say in your original post that George Alexander was baptised in Lincolnshire in 1757 - do you have documents proving that?  If so I'd love to see them.  Also, do you know whether GA Reynolds and Ms Bonnefoi were married in India after arriving or meeting there or in the UK?  Your thought that GAR1 couldd have been married before Ms Bonnefoi is also very interesting, who knows?!

Dom - you may well be able to answer some of these questions?  Anyway, I wanted to make contact and perhaps the fact that I am here in the UK might be helpful in digging up new information.  Having said that, my father has tried quite hard to find birth records for GAR1 and his brother John, without success.

Best wishes.

Peter Reynolds
