I would love to contact anyone with the surname of Spies to contact me .
My father is Cornelius Johannes and the family names are Phillip and Louis. I think he found his surname (last name) in telephone directories in Europe somewhere in 1976, but could not contact them while he was ther. He lives in South Africa and he thinks his ancester may come from Europe.
He is turning 80 on May 6th 1999 and it would be wonderful if a relative with the same surname from overseas can concratulate him by E-mail on that eventful day! I will read it at his party! It will really make his day.
I don't have any knowledge of any ancesters and where they come from. So, if anyone can help, I'll be greatful.
Regards,
Carin Nel.
