:Hallo there. I am from South Africa and my maiden name is Van den Bergh.
My great grandfather was called "Langhans" Van den Bergh as he was a very tall man. He was apparently a general in the army at the time of the Boerewar. My grandfather (who died 3 years ago) was Gert Nicolaas Van den Bergh. Some of my father's second cousins are well-known actors here in South Africa. My grandfather was married to Bettie Smit. I hope to gain some more information on my family genealogy.

Regards
Hermien
