<summary type="text">“Memories of over eighty years" : remiminisces
Schulze, W.G.
I was born at the Paarl on the fifth day of September 1849 and baptised in the&#13;
Dutch Reformed Church at that place on the thirtieth day of that month.3 I&#13;
cannot, of course, assert these facts from my own knowledge but for their&#13;
correctness have to depend upon a baptismal certificate. I had several&#13;
godparents, only one of whom I ever knew; but as none of them thereafter ever&#13;
apparently concerned themselves about me I need not further advert to them.

<summary type="text">Melius de Villiers : a biographical sketch
Schulze, W.G.
The cradle of the extended De Villiers family in South Africa was an estate near&#13;
La Rochelle, France. The revocation of the Edict of Nantes in October 1685&#13;
meant that freedom of religion came under siege in France.1 Among the many&#13;
French Huguenots who felt compelled to flee from their beloved France in order&#13;
to secure their right to worship their God as they chose, were three De Villiers&#13;
brothers. They first went to Holland (the then Dutch Republic), before they&#13;
came to the Cape in 1689. The De Villiers family in South Africa descended&#13;
from these three brothers.
