We are descendants of French Huguenots who came to South Africa.Our ancestor was Antonius Faure:or as our Latinized forefathers in the Middle Ages wrote it: Faurus.He was born in 1553 and he died in 1620.He bore the title of Knight, Baron of Peroges and was First President of the Council of Savoy.He was born at Bourg, in the province of Bresse, near Dauphiné where as well as in Languedoc and Angoulême, the family was distinguished for its noble birth, position and inter-marriage with the first families.His wife was named Benoite Faure, Lady of Vaugelas.They had 16 sons.Two of them, Pierre and Jean, being Huguenots had to flee from France in 1685.Jean died in Holland.Pierre was marr
ied to Justine Pointy.Their son, from whom our family are descended was Antonie.
