I have a cool picture of Syd in costume. He sent it to my aunty Peggy (Winifred) and I now have it. Do you have acopy, or would you like one? I have been chasing family material while on holiday in Capetown. Found the Wasserzug years.....Cheers, Nerrida Hi there, What a touching story I read on our very long Dutch family tree.

I know there are hundreds of us but you can now trace their lines back to the 1700's through http://dutchjewry.org/ . It goes back to their great great grandfather, born in the 1700's with headstones etc. If you need my help let me know. It does list Jack & Sydney. cheers Adrian Blashki Hi

Our families were neighbours for many years in Salmon Arm...Rosalyn baby-sat my sister and I...I graduated with Rhoda and I beleive my sister (Carol) was in the same grade as Denise. We fondly remember your Mum and family. I found your family site while memory surfing.

Thank you so much for posting on my blog about our mother, Denise Eckstadt, born Constance Denise Van Mentz - it is wonderful to hear from you! It's terrific that we can trace our lines back to the 1700s. My sister Roselyn and her husband are in New Zealand right now and I think she will be in touch with you. She loves family history and has been very involved with tracing our roots. It's wonderful to hear from you! Thanks! Diana Hi Adrian!

My wife Jan and I live in Knysna, where we moved in 2002 from Zimbabwe. I am the son of Kenneth Mentz (born van Mentz in 1909, Johannesburg). Dad was the 2nd son of Jack van Mentz, who was Sydney's brother. They were both sons of Abraham van Mentz, whos family lived in Hampstead, London. Father's elder brother was also named Sydney, and his younger brother was Leonard, and sister Irma. All lived in Joburg. Sadly we lost touch when we left in 1953 -- firstly to the Cape and then up to Rhodesia. I was lucky enough to meet up with Sydney snr.'s and my grandfather's other brother Leonard (snr.) in New York in about 1983. He was a stage actor in his day but well into his 90's when I met him. (married to a much younger Japanese lady called Yoko). Great to make contact! Greetings cousin!
