Children
- Johan Wilhelm Albertus van Zyl b. 1920
Attie’s maternal great-grandfather. Married Sophia Willemina Jacoba van Niekerk on 1 January 1907 in the Western Cape — placing the family at the Cape as late as 1907, before the move to the Transvaal where their son Johan Wilhelm Albertus appears on a 1942 Johannesburg driver’s licence.
His profile carries twelve sources on FamilySearch but lists no parents — so the Van Zyl line dead-ends here in the public tree. The longer Van Zyl ancestry up to the stamvader Willem van Zyl of Vrede en Lust (1668 Delft → 1699 Cape) is not yet bridged. Open thread.
