• General Comment. ² Reputedly a wealthy man.

• General Comment. ² He was an attorney and highly regarded in Graaff Reinet. Unfortunately he came to grief financially when the old Cape of Good Hope Bank failed. He was a shareholder, and those were days of unlimited liability, and he lost virtually all he had. However, he recovered, and paid back in full his share of the debts. From 1866 he was a director of the Graaff Reinet Board of Executors for 48 years, including being Chairman for 26 years. He was Mayor of Graaff Reinet from 1882 to 1888. They moved to Cape Town at about the turn of the century.

• Obituary. Extract from Obituary in the newspaper dated March 2, 1917
By the death yesterday of Mr. D.J.van Ryneveld, a representative of one of the finest stocks, one of the best families, which has literally for centuries played a prominent part in South African affairs, was removed from our midst.
The late Mr. D.J.van Ryneveld (our Mr. van Ryneveld, we might almost call him) married a daughter of Mr. Berrange, who was himself the Civil Commissioner and RM in succession to Capt W.C.van Ryneveld.
Mr. D.J.van Ryneveld was a descendant of a grand old family, a worthy father of worthy descendants. It is of more than passing interest to note that one of his grandsons has carried on the family's military traditions, for Lieut. Neil van Ryneveld is serving his King and Country in France today.
Mr. D.J.van Ryneveld followed the legal profession, and successfully practiced here as an attorney for very many years. It is not too much to say that he was a model of the profession, and is remembered with feelings of respect and kindness by all with whom he came in contact. He always retained what must now unfortunately be termed as that"old world" etiquette and courtesy, and was held in the highest honour and esteem by his fellow citizens. In 1862, he was offered the position of Landdrost of Bloemfontein, but this he felt bound to decline as the salary offered was a meagre 400 pounds a year.
Always he took a keen interest in public affairs, and it was only the result of an unfortunate street accident, and the burden of his growing years that drove him reluctantly from the active part he had played.
In 1866 he became a Director of the Graaff-Reinet Board of Executors, Ltd, a position that he retained until his resgnation on 16th July 1914, and during this period he was Chairman of the Directors from 20th April 1885 to 30th June 1911. In 1882, he was elected Mayor of Graaff Reinet, and was three times re-elected to the Chief Citizenship, his last year of office being in 1887.
A good horseman, in his day Mr. van Ryneveld followed with zest the sport of coursing. A few months ago, he met with the misfortune of breaking his leg, and this meant practically total confinement to the house, till his passing yesterday full of years and honour beyond the ken of mortals.
The funeral takes place this afternoon at 6 o' clock from the residence in Market Square, and will be largely attended. We tender our sincerest condolences to the bereaved family, the head of which is now removed.

There will inevitably be errors and omissions and the whole purpose of creating this online record, is to invite feedback and corrections.
The data is specifically for non-commercial use and my clear intention is to build family records. The data may, therefore, not be used in any way for the purposes of financial gain.

Caveat:- Throughout the project UK GRO birth, marriage and death index data appears. The GRO data appears in Quarters. Q1 = January, February and March, Q2 = April, May, June , Q3 = July, August and September and Q4 = October, November and December. Similarly, Mar Q = January, February and March, Jun Q = April, May, June , Sep Q = July, August and September and Dec Q = October, November and December. Where these dates occur, they represent the date of Registration of the event rather than the date of the actual event. Logically, registration occurs AFTER the event. In some cases this may be days or months or even years after the event. The important thing is that the event was recorded and a copy of the document of registration could be obtained if necessary. This also applies to South African NAAIRS records.

Similarly, the UK system is confusing to the uninitiated because registration districts can span several counties. Accordingly GRO locations may not record the true location of the event. They do record where the record is actually kept or recorded.

Caveat #2:- I have used URL's throughout the website as sources. The URLs are often from paid subscription sites so you may not be able to access them without an account. Inevitably there are broken URL's. I have been to every URL recorded here and at the time they were operational. In this regard, the Ancestry24 records are a problem. There are numerous references in the South African data citing Ancestry24 records. Unfortunately Ancestry24 has closed down and these records are no longer available on line.

The early South African records on this site would not have been as good as they are without the work done by Delia Robertson. Where there are website addresses containing http://www.e-family.co.za... I record the citation should read Robertson, Delia. The First Fifty Years Project.
