Oellermanns from South Africa

Hello fellow Oellermanns,
I'm an Oellermann originally from South Africa, but now livingin Scotland (!). I was born in Durban, my father was Manfred Oellermann who grew up in the Natal Midlands (I think he was born near Wartburg). My father's family was German-speaking, although when I introduced a German friend to my dad (and they spoke German) he told me afterwards that it was hard to follow, being a rather old-fashioned "country bumpkin" sort of accent!
My paternal grandfather was Walter Oellermann, but I'm afraid I don't have much more than that. Our bit of the family looks like this:
Walter Oellermann married Waldtrout Freese
Manfred Oellermann married Eryll Hart
Adam Oellermann (me) married Michelle Pietersen
(no children yet!)
Peter Oellermann
Nikki Oellermann married Ian Scott
Rudi Oellermann married Elaine (unsure of maiden name)
Timothy Oellermann
Paul Oellermann
Marlene Oellermann
Incidentally, we registered the "oellermann.com" domain name a long time ago - hence my email address is [email protected] - if there are any Oellermanns out there who are interested, I'd be happy to set up email forwarding so that email to [email protected] goes to your usual email address. This doesn't cost me anything, so I'd be happy to do this for free.
