Genealogy / Need help with the origins of the surname von Czapiewski [21]

Hey Laurice:)
Do you have email where I can reach you? It is a bit too much to type on my phone - or email me on ninabrand@telkomsa.net

But to start off with - my great grandfather came from poland, married Tina Visser, and they had 11 children. My grandmother, Johanna von Czapiewski, was the second eldest.

She married Gouws Brand and she had two children.
My dad is the eldest of the two - Nico Brand.
But hey, I've got all kinds of bits and pieces that I can't make sense of plus more info on the family in South Africa, so give me a shout:)

Hi Laurice,
I have just looked at the bits and pieces of info that I have, and we are related!
My great grandfather was Lorenz Zuroch von Czapiewski, married to Tina nee Visser. My grandmother was Johanna, second of eleven children.

Hi Katjia,
Laurice von Czapiewski Pyner is also on this page and from Namibia - hope that helps!
