And then, last but not least were the Flemmer family from Cradock who made contact just before the Reunion. It is not clear if this family is descended from the original Flemmer family, as in colonial times servants often took on the family name. But Mac Donald "McGyvir" Flemmer and his family came along to the Reunion anyway and were made very welcome. They were:

1. Disten Christa
2. Disten Warrie
3. Flemmer Charles
4. Flemmer Jacob
5. Flemmer Lorretta
6. Flemmer MacDonald
7. Flemmer Marcello
8. Niuewenhuys Lavina Flemmer
