Welcome! Here you’ll find information about the family of Joseph Ferdinand de Raedt (1849 – 1913) and Susannah Hogan (1848 – 1919) who married at the English Church in Uitenhage, South Africa in 1875.
These photographs of Joseph and Susannah have been taken from Galery van Reenmakers by Dot Serfontein, Human & Rousseau, 1986:
You can find out more about how this information has been gathered here.
This site is presently organised with a page each for Joseph and Susannah, and a page for each of their 10 children*:
Catherine Elizabeth (Kate), Maria Theresa, Philip Edmond, Susannah Marianne (Mary), Josephine, Annhies Juliette, Frances Winnifred, Florence Jemewell, Pierre John Joseph and Muriel Lilian Mabel.
The menu at the top of each page also includes links to a number of other documents, mainly source documents and translations/transcriptions.
* Dot Serfontein’s book provided an initial list of the de Raedt children’s names and this has been amended as more information has become available. Ten children have so far been identified/named. Susanna’s Death Certificate notes that she had 12 children, 9 still living when she died in 1919.
