The thievery of Krynaauwslust |
News24
Krynaauwslust is a 4400 hectare farm near Vrede in the Free state. The
Free state government has committed to spend R570 000 000.00 to establish a dairy farm
on Krynaauwslust through a BEE company named Estina.
Some of the expenses :
* R2.6 million for the gate
* R119 million for the actual dairy buildings
* R2.5 million for spanners and tools
* R6 million for dairy cows, etc. etc.
According to a very glossy, drummed up report by the Free state Premier, Ace
Magashule, Krynaauwslust will deliver 100 000 liters of milk per day from
the 370 dairy cows they bought. Or to be exact: 270 liters per cow per
day. That is BLOODY AMAZING! Because that is more than 10 times the
average that a dairy cow normally produces per day.
If you drive to Krynaauwslust right now, you would smell something in the
air. It is the carcasses of cows dying from hunger that are dumped in the
ravine on the farm. About 65 are dead already.
The BEE company is legitimate and registered to this address: Block A, Grayston
Ridge Office Park in Sandton.
When you pay a visit this address, you will find some other interesting
people also have offices in that block. Namely:
1. Duduzane Zuma: Our beloved president`s son.
2. Mabengela Pty (Ltd) : Our beloved Gupta family`s company.
3. Tshepiso Magashule: Our beloved Free state Premier`s son.
How much more blatant a reason do you need to impeach him?
This is shocking, but what can you and I do about it, apart from our vote ?
Let each of us pass these messages on a worldwide basis; as the RSA cannot sustain this flagrant and blatant fraud; theft; robbery; lies; corruption and bullsh*t any longer by the ANC government !!!!

Thank you for the good feedback and additional family information we have received over the past year. Further contributions are always welcome.
Please take a look at items which have been added to Family Stories. It is about Dr Rowland Krynauw (1907), who was a world-renowned neurosurgeon, and David Wilhelm Krynauw (1916), an archivist and author of a number of publications.
Krynauw website launched!
The purpose of this is to release information collected by various family members in the past for updating and comment.
The research was collected in the past with great difficulty, without internet and electronic systems. See Acknowledgement for details. It goes without saying that the information will not be complete and correct. It will require active participation and continuous updating by family members and time will tell whether there is enough enthusiasm for a Family Facebook. At launch date, there are 664 Krynauws and a further 706 related persons in the Family Register.
The compilers of this website are not experts in the field of genealogy. Available and most probable information (in our opinion) is provided. We do not accept liability for the correctness of information.
We are happy to correct errors and welcome suggestions. If any person objects to the disclosure of his or her information, it will be removed upon request.

19300 Grabow
Translation of letter from Simona Pries, Jan 2011
It is very nice that you have sent me the written request.
The city Grabow had a large fire in 1725, which destroyed the available documents at that time.
A listing of houses and inhabitants of 1627/28 in Grabow, reflect the names KREINOW, Christian (perhaps the grandfather of Daniel) and KREINOW, Jonas.
In the archived documents of 1766-1768 the names KREYNOU, Jochim and KREINOW (KREYNOW), Ernst Christian (carpenter) appear. The carpenter was married to Maria, born Wietingen. He died on the 7th March 1794. The records reflect KREYNOU and sometimes KREYNOW or KREINOW.
The registration office was established in 1875. Until then, it was only the church records.

Magna Cornelius-Krijnauw (born 1958) from Stellenbosch, writes:
"My father (Pieter Hendrik Johannes Krijnauw, born 1930, Lawyer and Member of the Volksraad) went to his grave with the story of his "dots". He did his research and was convinced that the "y" in Krynauw should get a diacritic and should be ÿ or ij.
We also know that the ship registers were written by the Dutch and that they “Dutched” many of the German surnames or wrote them phonetically (especially when the Germans could not write). Later, with the takeover by the British, they anglicized the Dutch surnames in registers/documents and wrote them phonetically.
In my research, I found various spellings....
Kraijnag Daniel, from Grabow
Kreijnauw Daniel, who asks for building land in Tafel valley
Krijnouw Johannes, asking for a plot in Tafel valley (he was the husband of Johanna Walters 1782, who was in turn the widow of Pieter van der Westhuizen)
Kreijnouw Christiaan van Drakensteijn, Kleine Houwhoek, asking for land at Reeboks Rivier, De Rust
Krijnaauw Christiaan, reader and schoolmaster, asks for a plot in Stellenbosch. He later asks for another part that borders his plot. Then they report that Krijnauw is asking for another piece of his enlarged plot.
In telephone directories in Germany I have not yet found a Krijnauw or Krynauw, but I have found Crijnauw and Craijnauw.
I accept that my father was convinced that it must be an “ij” and that is why this spelling was also used in the family’s ID documents.

JOHANNES HENDRIK KRYNAW (b 1814) married MARGARETHA WILHELMINA REDELINGHUYS (b 1822) in 1838.
They had six children and their daughter ANNA CATHERINA KRYNAW (b 1867) is my GREAT GRANDMOTHER. She married CARL GOTTFRIED MARIE de MARILLAC ST JULIEN.
I am writing a book about my family.....and as you know one's family can involve a great many people but I am following my direct line but where interesting stories arise I am including those as well.
The de Marillac family has a long history and my story begins in 1350 France. When my husband retired in 2001 we came to live in France and are very happy here. My research has never stopped and I met a group of Historians who also have an interest in the de Marillac family. I showed them how the de Marillacs fled France to avoid certain death on the guillotine during the Revolution. They settled in Hesse, Germany and changed their name to von Marillac to disguise their origin because Germany was at war with France. Three generations lived there and then 4 of the sons left for the Cape and reverted to their original name de Marillac. They lived in Oudtshoorn and Mossel Bay, farming ostriches. That was when feathers were all the rage in Europe and they became wealthy exporting these feathers. One of the brothers bought Fancourt farm and was one of its early owners. At present I am in contact with Fancourt and they are assisting me as we work out the history of the place.
Several members of the de Marillac family (one was the Marshall of France) were involved in the persecution of the Huguenots. The historians here found it ironic that after so many years we have a direct descendant from this family marrying a Huguenot and of course I am referring to Johanna Jourdaan who married Daniel Krynauw in 1718. Funny how the wheel comes full circle.
Some of the family went to Argentina but that was much later in 1902/3. Anna Catharina Krynauw who married Carl Gottfried Marie de Marillac had four children, one of them was Pauline Elizabeth, my Grandmother. Pauline married John Louis William Baumann (my Grandfather). After the Boer War there was much unhappiness among the Boers and John Louis went to Argentina and negotiated land from the government. They were granted land in Chubut and several ship loads of Africans left in 1902,1903 and 1905. They formed new settlements and a new life. Some stayed in Chubut and others moved further afield and some returned to South Africa. I have made a study of this history. My Grandfather stayed there and eventually died in Argentina. My Grandmother returned to South Africa with her four children. It is interesting that in 1912 they found large deposits of oil on their farms while they were drilling for water! The government made sure that they had rights to the oil and the South Africans didn't become wealthy oil barons.
You may be wondering what a South African is doing in France....we lived in Umhlanga for 20 years and when my husband retired in 2001, we bought a 300 year old farmhouse here. Our four sons are in Australia, Virginia USA, London and Cape Town!

We were very surprised to receive your letter.
Unfortunately we cannot provide much information. We emigrated to Germany 14 years ago and know very little about our family.
My grandfather was originally from Siberia and my father emigrated with his family to Kyrgyzstan, after the 2nd World War.
Here in Germany there are many instances where the spelling of the last names have been changed.
You may be able to find the name without the "w" - Kreino.
Comment from an expert:
“In terms of law, there is only one registered coat of arms of a person, to which no other person may claim, provided he has had it approved and legally registered in his name at the Bureau of Heraldry. It costs approximately R8 000 for all the processes. His eldest son can inherit the coat of arms after his death and then apply to register the coat of arms in his name. However, his brothers must then design their own coat of arms, have it approved and register it. If the deceased does not have a son, his eldest daughter inherits the coat of arms, but with an adjustment before registration. That is, people with the same surname cannot own the same family coat of arms, and there is no family that can legally claim to have a family coat of arms that belongs to them.” The example of the coat of arms that appears in the website comes from Pama’s book, which in turn obtained it from the Krynauw-Bell collection. See History/ The Family Coat of Arms by DW Krynauw. “The coat of arms is not registered under any individual’s name at the Bureau of Heraldry.
There is also no evidence that ancestor Daniel had a personal family coat of arms. If he did have one, there is also no evidence that it was the one in the Krynauw-Bell collection. If we theoretically accept that ancestor Daniel did have a family coat of arms, it died out with his grandson Daniel Jacobus, born 1763 (son of Daniel), since he had no descendants. If he died early, his second brother Stephanus Johannes, born 1774 (our ancestor) could have inherited it, which means that Timothy Krynauw (of the Zimbabwe Krynauws) could be the only legal holder of ancestor Daniel's coat of arms today.”
