THE LÜCKHOFF LEGACY
Janette Engelbrecht
The Lückhoff Legacy is a collection of family trees, memories, biographies and photos condensed into one family book.
Many members of the Lückhoff family were enthralled to hear that there would be a collection for the whole family as far back in generation as time and document would allow, and that their typed, handwritten and at times undecipherable trees would be used and researched for corresponding sources.
During the research original letters dating 1950 and earlier were presented, and the irony of the South African descendants can only be described by the last paragraph of one of the letters, “Had the two brothers not emigrated to South Africa, where would we have been? Two war slaughters had been let loose in Europe … DESTINY!!” The arrival of our ancestors and travels of our forefathers scattered all Lückhoffs throughout South Africa and the world. It is with pride that this book honours them.
