Sometimes one gets more than Expected

 The cemetery that we found is very well maintained. Then it hit me, a white headstone in a double grave: "Here rest Arie Willem VAN WYK and Carolina Wilhelmina VAN WYK born BESTER."
It is grandmother Alida Wilhelmina's parents - my great grandparents! and nearby Johanna Maria VAN WYK born KRAAY, 17 Nov 1810 - in life the mother of Arie Willem (According to the SAG born 10 Dec 1979)
Back in Pretoria I processed the photos.   In the back row I saw a grave of Johannes Jacobus Burgers ERASMUS, died 1979.  Along those are some unmarked graves. Why does the name sound familiar?  Then I remember, he purchased Vanwyksvlei in 1935 from grandfather's Sampie estate.  Suddenly it hit me: the unmarked graves are indeed that of Samuel James BASCH and his 3-year-old daughter, Elsje Margaretha (Ellatjie, died 1924).
We found what we were looking for.
But I browse through the photo archive on my computer again. Of the other old farm graves I photographed earlier near Carolina, is one with a rough hand hewn headset that reads: "AJ van Wyk died 30 January 1863 aged 30 years 8 days murdered". The young victim of ruthless cattle thieves was Johanna Maria Kraay's son and brother Arie Willem.  And beside him also lies a sister Rachel Jacoba - and their father, Henning Jacobus VAN WYK (1802-1875), husband of Johanna Maria - my-great great grandparents!
