I was told that Alida Barendina Kruger was the niece of @President Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger, and that her father was called Johannes.

The President had two brothers who were called Johannes: @Theunis Johannes Kruger and a half-brother @Gert Johannes Kruger. I cannot find evidence that either had a daughter called Alida Barendina, who then married FN Viljoen. I also cannot find details about Alida's mother. I was told she was called Catharina Maria, but the surname is unknown.

If you have any information about this, please let me know!

Found her DN here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CS3F-NPJG?i=1642&a...

Updated her tree accordingly but it seems likely that her father was 'only' Johannes therefore not (directly) niece of SJP Kruger.

Thanks Jan. I have a copy of this DN; it was signed by my grandmother, who may have not known the full names of Johannes Kruger.

For some reason I have another DN for Alida Barendina Kruger. On that one, her parents are listed as "deceased" - no names are given.

So I'm still not sure how Alida is related to SJP Kruger....
