Charl Petrus Roos

The Great Trek was a northward migration of Dutch-speaking settlers who travelled by wagon trains from the Cape Colony into the interior of modern South Africa from 1836 onwards, seeking to live beyond the Cape's British colonial administration.

Johannes Gysbertus , his youngest brother Charl Petrus, and his son Johannes Gysbertus and their families travelled by wagon train from Cape Colony, seeking independence of British rule.
