Sepp: Family tree

< BACK

1. Overview

Our Sepp family line can be traced back to Bernard Sepp of Germany. No details of his life could be found thus far. What is known, however, is that his son Gustav Sepp migrated to England in the mid 19th century and settled there, belonging to the workers class. He and members of his family, including his son Charles Frederick Sepp (my husband’s great-grandfather), later migrated to South Africa to the Witwatersrand when the ‘gold rush’ was at its height. Charles worked as a gold miner in the deep-level mines. Their descendants gave rise to a distinct branch of South African Sepps.
