Roos - Is anyone related to my great grandfather?

Question

I am the daughter of Michael Roos who is the Son on Cyril Roos who is the Son of Jacob Stephanus Bosman Roos. I want to find out more about my great grandfathers history please.

Comments

Can you give us some dates and places, please, so we can help you? Even a country and a century would help. 

Answer 1

Seeing you are born in South Africa, this might be the marriage record of your great grandfather:

"South Africa, Dutch Reformed Church Registers (Cape Town Archives), 1660-1970 ," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XK45-N31 : 6 August 2017), Jacobus Stephanus Bosman Roos and Lilian Alice Van Zyl, 16 Aug 1932, Marriage; citing p. , Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, State Archives, Cape Province; FHL microfilm 2,214,040.

And, as Ros and Marion said, more names, dates, and places would be extremely helpful!

Hi Samantha, You haven’t started adding people to your part of the tree. If you start from the known and work your way up I am sure you will make discoveries. Have you tried familysearch.org? It is a free site.
