I'm miles from France

I found a whole stack of old family photographs. Who are they, where did they come from, where did I come from? This blog tells the story of my family and hopes to answer the age old question: Where did I come from?

The books I have on the Maree family are incomplete, and do not give Michiel David Maree as a child of these parents. Anyway, from SA Genealogies 5:

Ignace Mare xx 7.2.1706 Susanna van Vuuren.

b2 Johannes = 24.9.1708 + 1761 x Sara Delport

c4 Johannes = 3.4.1781 x 15.5.1763 Gesina van der Westhuizen

d3 Johannes Petrus = 18.9.1768 + 6.8.1845 x 17.4.1791 Anna Elsabe Malan

Then there are two children, born in 1792 and 1794. de Villiers/Pama lists three more children, born in 1796, 1797, and 1799.  There are these articles in “Familia”:
