Schoeman - The search has begun

The Schoeman search started much easier than the Kloppers search. Mostly due to the fact that I have a walking encyclopedia for a grandmother. She managed to give me the names, date of birth, place of birth, marraige dates, date of death and place of death of both her parents and Oupa's parents. I also managed to find the Schoeman family name meaning. This is all the information I have gathered so far.
