origins of Syme surname
I would like to find out where my surname originates from. My father was Lodewyk Syme. Unfortunately I cannot find anything about Lodewyk Syme on Google.
My place of birth is Cape Town, South Africa. I do know that my father's family comes from a Moravian mission station (Mamre) in Cape Town that used to be called Groenekloof where the free slaves lived.I presume that some of his ancestors were European settlers who established relations with some of the free slaves in Groenekloof.
I would appreciate it if there is any one out there who could assist me with some information.
