South Africa / Re: Anyone researching the Botes family
« on: Sunday 12 July 20 11:46 BST (UK)  »
Hi Lorraine & others
I am in the process tracing my paternal grandparents and have reached PGP2 level. 
That is my great great grandmother.  She was Maria Magdalena Johanna Botes (born 22 November 1869 in Prince Albert and died on 18 February 1923 in Johannesburg).  I have her death notice and church baptism record.
I would like to source details of her parents Andries Stephanus Lourens Botes and Johanna Philippina Catharina Marias.  They are my PGP3.  Other than these details l have no record of birthdates, deaths and their respective parents.
Assuming they were part of the Botes family who took part in the Great Trek 1835-1838 they would have been children at the start of the trek or were born during the trek. 
As I understand from this post, 16 families of Botes set out on the Great Trek.
Would appreciate any input that will assist me further.
Many thanks in anticipation
John
