In fact her great grandfather was my great grandmother's brother. If I am right your mother's father was Lancelot Dean Cartwright. I have been able to connect these branches but I have some gaps which I have never been able to fill and I was hoping you may be able to help me. In particular, Lancelot's father.

Enjoying all the research - thanks! Re Julia's comment re the town Saoere... it indeed Sancerre. If you check the website huguenots-france.org you'll find Renaud-Berthault de Saint Jean in the listings as having come from Sancerre (with wife and son). Also interesting, his second wife was Marthe Sollier - who was the mother of Maria who married Johannes van der Riet, hence the vdR line in SA; she was born in the Cape, the daughter of Durand Sollier (also in that listing) who arrived in 1697 from Clermont l'Herault, which is near Nimes in the Languedoc region - also great wine region.

I am living in Edinburgh and spend a lot of time in France and have married into a French family. See the following: "Although not numbering among the early batches of French <br />fugitives who came to the Cape, we find the name of another <br />French surgeon who lived at the Cape in the first quarter of <br />the eighteenth century ; we can surmise that he had left France <br />on account of his Protestantism. Renault Berthault de St. <br />Jean was born in 1692 at Sanoere, in the province of Berry, <br />France, and at the age of twenty became a surgeon in the <br />service of the Dutch East India Company. Seven years <br />later he landed at the Cape, being joined later on by his <br />wife, Anne Fourdinier and son. Mr. St. Jean became chief <br />surgeon of the Government hospital in Cape Town, and <br />died on the nth March, 1763, having married a second <br />time Martha Sollier, daughter of Durand SoUier. The <br />family of de St. Jean is still represented in South Africa <br />through the female line of the family of van der Riet." <br />The trouble is that this place, Sanoere, does not seem to exist anymore - so perhaps its Sancerre? Any thoughts? Great work on the family tree and let me know if I can help at all.<br />Best wishes<br />JuliaJuju Dollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00333346676900096846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020089698243431915.post-30955345678230918142011-08-29T05:29:08.343-07:002011-08-29T05:29:08.343-07:00Visit our webite https://sites.google.com/site/som...Visit our webite https://sites.google.com/site/someofuscamefromholland/ to see where Emily Mary van der Riet fits into the Kuys family.

Came across a Van Der Riet who would be my great-great grandmother. Her name was Emily Mary van der Riet (b. 24 Nov 1830). She married Arnoldus Gerhardus Martinus Kuys. The Kuys family was very prominent in the George area. Wondering if there is any connection. I'd be very interested in getting a copy of the family history as I'm sure there is a connection somewhere. Let me know.
