Sources

We do not attempt to provide a complete historical description. Each family branch has only a partially common history and the great challenge of giving a “complete” picture is not feasible with this website. Our approach is to publish what we have and to supplement it as more information becomes available.

We used the following sources and contributions, namely:

  • The Beaufort-Wes Krynauws – From “The Krynauw Family” by DW Krynauw, 03/02/1908, published 11 December 1987
  • Notes by Danie Krynauw of Bellville, 1 December 1986
  • The Family Coat of Arms by DW Krynauw (1908)
  • Origin of the De Villiers family by DW Krynauw (1908)
  • The Huguenot influence by DW Krynauw (1908)
  • Education in the pioneer days by DW Krynauw (1908)
  • The church registers of Grabow by Pieter Krynauw (1936-2005)
  • Church archive Schwerin by Pieter HJ Krynauw (1945)
