1. Do more Genealogy. Find out more about my ancestors.
This my Great great grandfather on my father's side. He was Pieter Jerimiah Blignaut. He was Secetary of the OFS and was acting President twice. He married one of President Steyn's Daughter after my great Great grandmother Caroline Erskin Died at the age of 36 leaving 6 Children. The Oldest was my great grandfather, John Peter Blignaut. My father was named after him. Tragically his wife, Susana Scott also died at the age of 36 leaving him with 5 children. She asked him to promise not to marry again. Perhaps because her mother had remarried 3 times. John Peter ( or Jan as it seems her preferred to be called) had also been in a family where his father remarried. He did not remarry, but he could not take care of his small children and so sent them to an orphanage. My Grandmother Ouma Mara grew up in an orphanage. When she was older she lived with Ouma Sullivan her Mothers mother.
2. Plan a Genealogy trip
To visit all the places my ancestors have lives, to see if I can find more information about them. Bloemfontein, Koppies and Pilgrim's rest will be on the list of places to go.
