Labuschagne from Natal and O.F.S.
Hi everyone,
We are compiling a database of the decendants of
Pieter de la Buscagne born in 1683 in France and came to
Cape of Good Hope about the mid 1700's. They were a Hugenot family who fled the religious persecution of that time in France and Holland.
Would be keen to hear from anyone of that name, now more commonly recognised as "LABUSCHAGNE".
They appear to have been among the principals of the Great Trek northwards from the Cape and down into Natal.
My grandmother was a Labuschagne from the Vryheid district.
