The Kombrink's in the Netherl. We received valuable information from living Kombrink's. Some of them did put together already their own partial family line. We consulted archives in Germany and the Netherlands, graveyards were visited and we searched the available on-line data.
Much work still has to be done.
Especially in Germany the data are by far not complete. Their ascendants in Germany are often notl traced. In South Africa the name Combrink must be researched. It is quite certain that their common ancestor came from Bielefeld in the beginning of the 18 th. century . His name was Hermann Combrink , who arrived with spouse in South Africa in the early years of the 18th.
