Jenny and Esther,
my mother used to refer to a connection to George Rex (George and Knysna area) ... I've read elsewhere that Robert Ogilvie Scott apparently farmed on a farm owned by George Rex?  the area around George definitely featured big in my ancestry.

Scotland / Re: Robert Ogilvie SCOTT I have a photo

hi Jenny,
of course I don't mind you contributing! I read that Esther speaks Afrikaans and I do too, so thought to ask her for the Afrikaans articles.

Perhaps we can spot a family likeness if we post photos? I have a copy of the wedding photo when my maternal grandmother Delina Margaretha Olwage got married to Robert Ogilvie Gericke (my grandfather).  I have never seen any photos of my grandfather's mother (Jane Margaret Scott), father, or siblings.  Do you have any photos?

Delina in Oregon, U.S.A.

hallo Ester,
I too am an Afrikaner living 'elsewhere' ... in my case, the west coast of the USA. I've had a hard time researching my Scott ancestry in Scotland until tonight, when I googled and found this RootsChat site and your posting about our joint ancestor.  I am the daughter of Jane Margaret Gericke, whose father was Robert Ogilvie Gericke, and in turn his mother was Jane Margaret Scott who was the daughter of Robert Ogilvie Scott.

Is it allowed for me to give you my email address so that you can write me directly?  I will hold off until I know.  I would just love to have a copy of the article uou mentioned, the one about Robert Ogilvie Scott. For some reason I identify much more with my mother's side of the family, and particularly the Scottish connection, than with my father's mostly German side.

Hoping to hear from you!  my real name is Delina
