[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 657226, member: 39190"] Please don't take this as me being pedantic; it is not intended as such but just some info for those who might care (at all); In SA any surname with the common 'Van -'/'Van der -'/'Van den -'/'Janse van -'/'De' / 'Du' the rule is the start of the surname is lower case if the name is included; Jan van Riebeeck, Francois van der Merwe or Lodewyk de Jager but upper case if the surname is standing alone; Van Riebeeck, Van der Merwe or De Jager. Just a little bit of useless information to use or not. [/QUOTE]
