Ancestors

My grandfather, Gustavus Adolphus Joubert (who was known as Guda) with his mother and sister circa 1880. I know nothing about my great-grandmother other than that she was Scottish. My great-grandfather was a descendant of the French Huguenots who settled at the Cape of Good Hope in 1687.



My father's father Ernest Bernard Conlon whom I never knew as he died very young when my father was still a child.



My mother's family. My grandmother Constance Anne Joubert nee Meyer is standing. Seated from left to right: my uncle Abraham Lincoln Joubert (known as Sonny) holding my aunt Judith (known as Whitie because she was so blonde); my mother Neva holding my aunt Leone and grandpa Guda.



My paternal grandmother Florence Ligouria Locke nee Fisher (known as Flossie) with my father and his sister.
