Avonne Pickering, Herzog Biermann, Wendy de Beer,

I am Avonne Pickering, granddaughter of Edith van Staden, nee Biermann, whose mother was Cornelia de Beer. Cornelia was the daughter of Nicolaas Johannes de Beer, of diamond fame. She married a Hefer and was widowed, and then married Hugo Hendrik Biermann. I have the remains of a photo taken in the Kimberly Concentration Camp with Cornelia, Hugo and their baby daughter , Evelyn. the rest of the picture sadly has deteriorated but the photo and story about it were published in The Saturday Star Joahnnesburg in about 1988 or so, being submitted by Major Herzog Biermann from Pretoria, one of the grandsons of Hugo Hendrik. Do you have any information about Cornelia ? thanks, Avonne

Kallie, You should contact Prof Jan de Bruyn, past deputy vice-chancellor of Stellenbosch University, regarding the family history of the De Beer family. He did mammoth research into it. He is now retired but I can supply his contact details. Regards, Albert de Beer

I am the grandson of Petronella Sophia de Beer , who in turn was dau. of Johannes Nicolaas de Beer & the granddaughter of " Diamond " de Beer . She married Parry Davies in 1915 & their first born son was unlucky to be named Patrick Johannes Nicolaas de Beer Davies , it didn't help him as he inherited none of the de Beer fortune .
