My maternal great Grandfather. Family history passed down says he was a Boere Verkenner. Also known as Jan Wakkerstroom?

Welcome Amour!

There are two Hans Jurie on the roll for the ABO, both appear to have served in the Wakkersttroom Commando.

While there is no more information on this site, there will be the application form in the Pretoria archives. This will give you some biographical and service information.

Someone like Audrey Portman (see in Contacts in the top menu) will be able to help you if you cannot visit in person.

Good luck!

I can highly recommend Audrey Portman.

She conducted some research for me on this subject and some genealogical. Her work is super and she communicates well. Due to the nature of her work, she does only communicate in early morning or late afternoons, but one gets used to her routine very quickly.
Her fees are also very reasonable.

A pointer for you:
The TAB archives have 5 files for Hans Jurie Moolman (4 x Wakkerstroom) relating to ex-Burger Claims lodged in 1903
