Cc: Bcc: X-Attachments: C:\LEIBBRANDT_Archive\Douglas_Paul_Leibbrandt_ZA\scanner\A19.doc; To Rob Leibbrandt, It looks that searching you ancesters ends here. There is still one small chance from the papers of Douglas Paul L: There was also a: Henry John LEIBBRANDT. *c1865 Maried with Emma Clazina Matilda LEIBBRANDT. When this is the same person as the already found: 11.252644. Henry *1887 and this is the father of your grandfather; had your grandfather a brother Petrus Hermanus ????? I am afraid it ends here.

I do not think that my Grandfather is the Henry Leibbrandt that you have identified. I have spoken to my Mother in South Africa and found out that my Grandfather was Henry John Leibbrandt and we believe he would have been born later than the Henry you found, we think around 1900 as he was quite young when my father was born in 1924. I have an education certificate of my grandfather for a "first class" pass in woodwork part 2 issued in 1916. I also have a certificate of membership of a Masonic lodge in Cape Town for him dated 1927. I know that he died while my father was in Europe in the army during the World War 2, but not sure exactly when that would have been (I will try to find out more from my half uncle Harry Leibbrandt). My mother also told me that my father seems to have thought that our family came from Wurms and first arrived in South Africa much earlier than 1774, possibly in the late 1600's. I have seen a few Leibbrandt family trees but have never fitted our branch in. I have attached the page you included in your file with corrections in red for you interest. I will do some more "digging" and let you know if I find anything of interest. >Regards Rob > > >-----Original Message----- >From: Hans Leibbrandt [mailto:leibbran@iae.nl] >Sent: Monday, 15 July 2002 5:49 AM >To: Leibbrandt, Rob >Cc: jender@imaginet.co.za; gotlieb@tm.net.my >Subject: Your Leibbrandt family roots , back to 1540 ? > > >To Rob Leibbrandt >Managing Director >Major Drilling Australia Pty Ltd > >To introduce my self: I am HansLeibbrandt, >the maker of the 100 page Leibbrandt family tree that you can find at: > http://home.iae.nl/users/leibbran/leibbsite/ > >From Erik G.L.
