Notes for Jan Gerhardus "Liebenberg":
I was recently contacted by Bennie Liebenberg - great grandson of Jan Gerhardus Liebenberg. The story goes, as told and re-told by his family, that they are not actually Liebenberg's but WRONSKY'S!!! It would seem that Fritz and Maria had a child before they were married. Scandalous at the time, but the child being adopted and raised by Maria's parents, the Liebenberg's.

According to their marriage certificate, Jan resided in "Rosebank, sub district Krugersdorp" at the time of his marriage and Blanche in Krugersdorp.
