Please add Janse(n) van Rensburg profiles to this project - those that there are queries about can be explored in discussions linked to this project. An outline of immediate descendants will be added at the bottom of the page in due course, so please be patient or offer to do this!!

Queries in both English and Afrikaans are welcome. For maximum effect write your query in both, but If you have difficulty with this do contact either June English for assistance, or any collaborator on the project.
