O’Neil’s Cottage by Lourens Du Plessis

If there is any information you need regarding the O'Neill's, I might be able to help. The O'Neill's married the Groblers, who then married the Du Plessis. My grand - and great grandparents told me the history and I have been doing research for a while now. duplessisrenzo@gmail.com
