I am looking for my maternal grandmother Natalie Haskins. 17 year old Natalie Haskins gave birth to a baby girl in Queen Victoria Hospital (Johannesburg) on 19 September 1941. The baby’s birth name was registered as Daphne Schultz. According to records found through the Johannesburg Child Welfare‚ the father’s name was merely listed as Schuktz (no first name). What we know is that Natalie was living in Judith Paarl‚ Johannesburg at the time of the birth. Daphne was adopted by a man called Chris Beek. Daphne’s name was then legally changed to Priscilla Ann Beek. Daphne - now know as Priscilla - was however raised by a Johanna Mary Naude. [A very interesting story surrounds this‚ as was revealed in a letter written in 1947 by the Welfare to Mr Beek]. Mr Beek did search for Priscilla and briefly meet her when she herself was 17‚ before returning to live in Holland. Johanna Mary Naude (who I was raised to believe was my gran) never told Priscilla (my mom) anything about her adoption etc. I am desperately seeking ANY knowledge about either Natalie Haskins‚ the mysterious Mr Schultz or Chris Beek. (Interestingly‚ Mr Beek was a married man when he adopted my mom‚ but there is no record of his wife ....nor why Johanna (known as Joey)‚ raised my mom from birth! As too‚ given Natalie’s maiden surname being Haskins‚ the fact that she lived in Judith Paarl and my mom’s facial features etc .... I am very interested to know if we have a Jewish lineage. Most grateful for all and any help.
