Hendrick Nicolaas Morgenrood

Hello Lynnette

Are you Lynette Willis Sampson? (Daughter of Hallam Willis Simpson and Elizabeth Hallis) Then Ellen Morgenrood (Ellen Maria Morgenrood b. 11 Feb 1857 d. 30 Jun 1912) was a daughter of Philip Dominicus Morgenrood who was a son on Hendrik Nicolaas Morgenrood.

If this is the case I would love to share what I have of our family tree with you !!

Yes I am Lynette Woolls (sometimes it seemed to be Willis) Sampson, daughter of Hallam Woolls Sampson and Elizabeth Harris. I have a book on the Sampson family history. They came out with British garrison to St Helena and my grandfather's brother was Sir Aubrey Woolls-Sampson, head of the light horse, and lived in the house that is now the Ridge School in Parktown. I just never had any information on my grandmother, Ellen, except she loved to have parties. She was married to my grandfather Ivo and they lived in Broad Street, Wynberg. They both seemed to have died very young and on the same day! Or very close. You say the name was originally German? I would love to hear more. Many thanks for this. Yours Lin (have shortened by name). I work as a journalist for the Sunday Times.
