After World War II, hundreds of people from Aalten emigrated to distant lands in search of a better life. Although the majority of them went to Canada, some people from Aalten went to other countries, including South Africa.

Do you have any interesting stories about family members who emigrated from Aalten to South Africa, suitable and approved for publication on Oud Aalten? Preferably accompanied by one or more photographs.
