Also for Riaan de Beer [s313ct4@gmail.com] and his reference to the original De Beer community in Meulebeke: "The domain of Dendermonde was purchased in 1515 by Filips de Beer, on 13 August 1655, King Philip IV upgraded it to a Barony, as reward for Nicolas de Beer, who had served for 15 years in the Spanish army. Under Robert-Francois de Beer(1680-1763), the de Beer family owned not only the Barony of Meulebeke but also domains in Kachtem (Vriese, Uytneminghe, Houderich, Oppermanschap, Halewijnsche, Bosterhout, Ten Ackere and Ayshove" Riaan de Beer also refers De Beers to the following web addresses for more interesting De Beer history:
