From: Gerda Pieterse some research in Hoge's "Personalia of Gemans at the Cape" and found the following, very interesting, information on the Blanckenberg family. ions that much of the trade was in the hands of Spanish and Portuguese Jews who had connections with German banking families and Flemish and Walloon traders from the days of the Hanse accord.
