Michel Ristow and his family arrived in South Africa aboard the Caesar Godeffroy on July 7, 1858. He was allotted land in Braunschweig (according to the German-language book about the German settlers). He died "soon after arrival". Note that the spelling used in the German-language book about the German settlers (possible Schwär & Pape) is "Michael Ristow". |
