!There is no doubt that the progenitor of the Aspeling family, Erik Gustavus Aspeling, in South Africa came to the Cape of Good Hope from Sweden. Where exactly in Sweden is yet to be confirmed.
According to Malherbe, in his book Family Register of the South African Nation, Erik Gustavus Aspeling arrived in South Africa in 1758 from Leerbeck, Sweden. Heese,J.A. in South African Genealogies, states that he arrived from Sweden in the ship Vlietlust and that he was a Coppersmith by trade. Hodge, John also states that he came from Leerbeck in Sweden as did Pama in his book Heraldry of South African Families. In addition De Villiers and Pama also states that he came from Leerbeck. A fellow researcher Anthony Robert Aspeling also claims that Leerbeck Sweden is where Erik Gustavus comes from. In a very old document at the Cape Archives he is noted as coming from Leerbeck and that he was a Burgher at the Cape.
! However the Rev John (Jack) Louis Wills Aspeling who got me started on all this genealogy some fourteen years ago, sent me his original data sheet that stated and I quote "Die Stamvader van hierdie familie was ERIK GUSTAVUS ASPELING, van Uddevale, wat in Kaapstad met Hillegonda Coetsee in die huwelik getree het." Well he committed the cardinal sin of not referencing this "fact" Me, being wet behind the ears never challenged him. After all he was a minister and my uncle. Uncle Jack passed on in 1996 and now only God knows where he got the information. But he may not have been too far off. In the list of members at the Evangelical Lutheran Church on Strand Street in Cape Town Erik Gustavus was on the first page (1780) so one presumes he was one of the early members. He was listed with his son Dirk Jacobus (a young man) In this list it notes that he was either from Oskerson or Askerson,(not easy to decipher) Sweden. Askersund is the nearest town to Lerback (70 Km) So it makes sense that he stated that he was from Lerback (Leerbek). Thanks to Stella Sutherland for this important information. From Stella Sutherland's notes: "There is a parish named Lerback under Askersunds kommun/municipal, in Orebro Lan/county in Narke province.I could not find any information that records were lost in a fire, some HFL/clerical surveys for the late 1700 are defect (no cause mentioned), 1815-20 are damaged caused by damp, some early 1700 books of birth are lost (www.nad.ra.se sok i NAD / type seeked parish, sok=search Lerback parish records are archived by Uppsala Landsarkiv, you could contact them and ask for specific time, like if birth records for this man's birthyear and clerical surveys are availble and get an accurate answer. http://www.ra.se/la.html.UDDEVALLA is the largest city in Bohuslän (province) with 50 000 inhabitants. The city dates from ancient times, with the oldest preserved letters of privilege being from 1498. However, due to two large fires, the buildings date only back to the late 19th century, for example the Town hall and the church.
!Uddevalla, with an active harbour, is one of the most important industrial cities on the westcoast. For decades the shipyard was Uddevallaþs main trademark with some 3 000 employees but since it went out of business in 1986, different concepts have been tried,one being a Volvo car factory, to restore the industrial life in the harbour.The Bohuslän Museum is located downtown, just next to Bäveån (the Bäve stream). Enter free of charge and discover the history of the province through the many life-size displays. There is an art exhibition as well, displaying the works of well-known artists.
!There are daily boat trips heading for the coast and for different islands. Please check with the tourist office, located on the opposite side of Bäveån, seen from the Museum. Just south of the city, you will find Gustafsberg, which is Sweden's oldest seaside health resort, dating back back to the 18th century. The rich and famous of the era gathered here to enjoy salty baths as well as clay and kelp baths. The wooden bathtubs are still around and so is "Villa Carolina", an empire style summer mansion, with 18th century interiors.
!So with much apology to all the genalogists that I have missled over this issue lets forget about Uddevale and concentrate on Leerbeck. although I must admit, Uddevalle sounds like a nice place but I am not going there!Depending what documents one is reading Erik Gustavus's names are spelt Erick; Gustaaf;Gustaeff Aspling; Aspelink,
The family Crest of the Aspeling family is a Swan. Ref. Pama, C. Heraldry of South African Families. It is interesting to note the the Lutheran Church on Strand Street in Cape Town is replete with images of a swan. There is a very interesting story as to why the Swan is so important to the church and is in their booklet." The swan recurs inside and outside the Church and on the facade of Martin Melck House is one of the emblems of Luther. Tradiionally it derives from John Huss who, dying at the stake just 100 years before the birth of Luther is said to have prophestied (punning on his own name which means "goose" " You are killing a goose but a swan will come" More authoritatvely however, it appears there is no satisfactory explanation for its connection with Luther" See the scrapbook for Erik Gustavus Aspeling on www.aspeling.com and for photographs of the booklet and the church which has played an important part of our heritage.
!I wonder why he took the Swan as the Family Crest. Could it be that the Lutheran Church was banned by the Dutch East India Company and the swan became a secret symbol for him.There are many references to his profession.
!"Erik Gustavus Aspeling arrived as a soldier in the service of the V.O.C. at the Cape in 1758 on board the the Vlietlust from Leerbeck, Sweden. He was a coppersmith, but shortly after his arrival he was appointed by the V.O.C. as a maker of gun bases in Stellenbosch" ref Family Register. Old Swellendam Families Part 2 Marena van Hemert
!Quote from The Cape Copper Smith by Marius Le Roux p.79 -80
!" ASPELING, Erik Gustavus of Leerbeck, Sweden. Arrived at the Cape in 1758 on board the Vlietlust as a soldier in the service of the V.O.C. Appointed gunstockmaker in 1759 but when he applied for burgher rights in 1764 he was a copper-smith by profession (ref H.C.V.

(His son was also a coppersmith. see Hendricus Leonardus)Married Hillegonda Kotze in 1766. (It should be noted in very early documents she is sometimes refered to as Coetzee).

Translation being doneHet land van herkomst van de familie Aspeling (Aspelink) is Zweden. De oudst bekende stamvader Erik Gustavus liet in zijn scheepssoldijrol van het schip 'Vlietlust’ noteren dat hij uit Leerbeek kwam. In andere bronnen komt ook Uddevella als plaats van herkomst tevoorschijn. Leerbeek lijkt een verbastering te zijn voor Lärabok, waar hedentendage nog Aspelings wonen. Uddevalla ligt boven Göteborg aan het Skagerarak, een zeeëngte tussen Denemarken, Noorwegen en Zweden.
De nazaten van Erik Gustavus vinden we in Zuid-Afrika en vanaf het begin van de negentiende eeuw in Indië, op welke tak het accent ligt in deze genealogie. Van de Zuid-Afrikaanse tak kon wegens het beperkte bronmateriaal niet exact worden nagegaan hoe zij precies in elkaar steekt.

The country of origin of the family Aspeling (Aspelink) is Sweden. The most old known ancestor Erik Gustavus let in its scheepssoldijrol of the ship 'Vlietlust' record that he from leather stream came. In other sources also Uddevella comes as a place of origin forth. Leather stream appears a verbastering to be for Lärabok, where hedentendage yet Aspelings live. Uddevalla lies above Göteborg at the Skagerarak, a zeeëngte between Denmark, Norway and Sweden.The descendants of Erik Gustavus find we in South-africa and from the beginning of the nineteenth century in India, on which branch the accent lies in this genealogy. Of the South-African branch could because of the limited source material not precisely be worked out how they precisely in each other sticks. On the other hand a nice image wanted to be obtained by the Indian branch of the family.

Baptism date according de Villiers p. 424 c10. (Check spelling of name).**** THIS HAS ALL TO BE CHECKED OUT !!!
Article from Familia 1974 may sort out the Kotza connection
BIOGRAPHY: He was a general agent
Her family first came to the Cape of Good Hope in 1691, a mere 39 years after Jan Van Riebeek arrived at the Cape on 6th April to set up a refreshment station for the VOC's (Dutch East India Company) ships so they could obtain meat, vegetables, water and other essentials. The progenitor of the Kotzee family in South Africa came from Germany. So I guess we all have some Swede and German genes.
Note: In very early documents she is sometimes refered to as Coetzee.

In 1803 he was intending to leave the Cape Colony but there does not seem to be any evidence that he did. Some interesting deals: " Informs the gentleman of the Army & Navy that he has fitted up a house in Barrack street as a hotel and coffee house" " Had a licence for vending foreign wine and liquors ... and threatens to prosecute those who infringe his monaply" " Row's livery stables, Barrack St, now ready to receive horses to stand at livery by day or month" While this is all going on he is buying and selling property like it is going out of style. However, the sad thing is that on 20th October 1817 he seems to gone into bankrupcy. " "20.10.17 Liquidation sale of his insolvent estate" It seems thaat he was left with wife,son, 2 daughters, 2 prize slaves,and two slaves.
