BEER":


I am Avonne Pickering, granddaughter of Edith van Staden, nee Biermann, whose mother was Cornelia de Beer. Cornelia was the daughter of Nicolaas Johannes de Beer, of diamond fame. She married a Hefer and was widowed, and then married Hugo Hendrik Biermann. I have the remains of a photo taken in the Kimberly Concentration Camp with Cornelia, Hugo and their baby daughter , Evelyn. the rest of the picture sadly has deteriorated but the photo and story about it were published in The Saturday Star Joahnnesburg in about 1988 or so, being submitted by Major Herzog Biermann from Pretoria, one of the grandsons of Hugo Hendrik. Do you have any information about Cornelia ? thanks, Avonne

DE BEER'S FIRST CONGREGATION



It is speculated that the route that my De Beer ancestors more or less took (before, during and after the Great Trek of the Voortrekkers, circa 1838) from Kweekvallei (read Prince Albert next to the Swartberg Mountains)was first to Graaf Reinette in the (Great Karoo) and where they respectively split to Colesberg/Kimberley and Colesberg/Fauresmith. My specific family research shows that they fell under the Dutch Reformed church congregation of Fauresmith. Fauresmith was the nearest railway line from which they imported their goods from Cape Town. In those days they only attended the sacrament of the Holy Communion once a quarter when the new born babies were also baptized and registered on the church's register. The farm INHOEK, where my great-great grand father, Barent Petrus De Beer farmed, was situated next to Petrusburg -- that was founded some years later-- and where their offspring were baptized and raised. However, my own grand father. CAREL JOHANNES DE BEER was baptized in Kimberley (?). Most probably during a family visit to that part of the family tree.

NG CHURCH ARCHIVE: FAURESMITH



Though this little "museum" type of building in Fauresmith displays some historic photographs, the register, however, in which the names of my baptized DE BEER-family is preserved, is kept in the Archives of the Free State NG Church in St Andrew Street, Bloemfontein. It is said that those registers were were the most meticulously up dated and preserved documents in South Africa. Unfortunately, the modern trend is not to marry nor to baptize the children necessarily in a church denomination which keeps registers etc. Church archives may become distinct as in the case of the old graves in church yards...

Kallie, You should contact Prof Jan de Bruyn, past deputy vice-chancellor of Stellenbosch University, regarding the family history of the De Beer family. He did mammoth research into it. He is now retired but I can supply his contact details. Regards, Albert de Beer

I am the grandson of Petronella Sophia de Beer , who in turn was dau. of Johannes Nicolaas de Beer & the granddaughter of " Diamond " de Beer . She married Parry Davies in 1915 & their first born son was unlucky to be named Patrick Johannes Nicolaas de Beer Davies , it didn't help him as he inherited none of the de Beer fortune .
