Origin of Beukes, Beuke, Bokke Surname

Johann Beukes  (View posts) Posted: 18 May 1999 12:00PM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Beukes, Beuke, Bokke
I have traced the Beukes family tree to Johann (Jan) Beukes who immigrated to South Africa.

The progenitor of the family here in SA was Jan (Johann) Beukes from Ottmarsboscholt in Westphalia, Germany. He was a soldier in 1696, citizen in 1710 and a farmer at Stellenbosch. He married 29.8.1705 to Jacomina Visser and they had nine children.

I would like to trace his root in Germany.
