Hi Mariona,
Sorry for my delayed reply, I've got a sick, teething bub and I haven't been online much. I'm definitely interested in knowing more about my ancestors! All going well, I'm hoping to get the photo done for you this week.
I also spoke with my Nan again and she mentioned that she thought that Krygger was at one point "De Krygger" possibly with one "g". Actually, she's pretty sure along that line of questioning.
Looking forward to hearing back from you,
CJ :)

Hi Mariona,
We are distant relatives it seems. My Great Grandfather was Parkin Krygger, son of Thomas and Elizabeth Dowson. I was just on the phone to my Grandmother Ellen and she was interested in knowing some information as she did not know her grandfather Thomas, only Elizabeth who Nan says was heavy set and intimidating. I have a photo of Thomas, Elizabeth and the children if you are interested and I'd love to know more. My Nan was of the impression that Peter's name was spelt with an "i" being Pieter. She had also mentioned once about a family theory that the family used to be German but either moved or changed something due to the war!?! I had tried to find out some of this info over 10 years ago but clearly didn't try hard enough. :)
I hope to hear from you,
CJ :)
