LE RICHE: Louis, the progenitor, came from the Thimerais region in France (perhaps in Ill-de-France, next to Normandy) on the ship ‘Driebergen’ in 1698 as Louwys de Ryck. He settled in Kromrivier in Wagenmakersvallei, and married Suzanne Fouché aka Susanna Fouche (b1689) in 1708. They had 2 sons & 3 daughters, of whom 1 daughter died young.

↑ Profiles Susanne Fourie (Cordier-11) and Susanna Le Riche (Le Riche-6 - WikiTree profile Le Riche-6 created through the import of Boonzaier direct.ged on Oct 6, 2011 by Johan Boonzaier.) were merged by Philip van der Walt March 29, 2014; Le Riche-6 did not have any parents, the spouse was the same Louis Fourie, and this profile had one identical daughter. There is however a different Le Riche lineage from France to South Africa where the progenitor has the same first name Louis but different birth and death data. Alternate spellings surname: La Riche / Le Riche.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Susanna by comparing test results with other carriers of her mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Susanna:
Baptism record in Epense on March 10th 1681 (born on March 7th).
Her father was is a merchant "de la Bournonville". I guess it's Bournonville, near La Neuville-aux-Bois. IIt's not that far from Epense (less than 5 miles).
Fourie-1080 and Cordier-11 appear to represent the same person because: Refer to the biography of Fourie-1080. This indicates that this is the same person
