I am a Wobben in South Africa, with quite a bit of family in Holland. I am sure somehow we could be related?

Like Nico's grandpa, most of the Wobben's (originally) hail from the province of Drenthe which is much more north and your Dutch leg of the family is probably from that area too. But it's funny to hear how the name is spreading.. you're in South Africa, we're about to move to Canada and who knows where else you can find Wobben's nowadays :) hello Walter,
