CE, I am at the end of the line, I can go no further back at the moment. This research is in South Africa which is a difficult place to research at the best of times, I have had to rely on Baptisms to get back this far. I have Sara Johanna Doelnif Van Die KAAP who was a slave to a Dutch farmer, he gave Sara her freedom, at some stage either before or after she was given her freedom she gave birth to three children. Sara, Carolina Doelnif Jan Hendrik Doelnif Martha Arletta Doelnif No surname given. It is the two daughters, Johanna and Martha that are involved in this, my cousin is the gg grand daughter of Johanna and I am the g grandson of Martha and I am trying to establish what relationship I am to my cousin. I have even removed the supposed father of Martha and just left Sara as their parent and Legacy still says I am "half third cousin once removed"
thank you for your suggestion.
