I am about to eat my words when a few days ago, I complained that the South African records were not organised along the same lines as our National Archives - i.e. that you couldn't order and pay with a credit card to receive documents of interest as you could with the National Archives in London. I have just done that through Ancestor.co.za, and on the payment of R50.00 (less than £4) have just received the document that I was searching for. The service, was quick, reasonable and Nicola (who serviced my request) was just great. So South African documents are available, quickly and won't break the bank. Alas, I have still to find my ancestors on any shipping/passenger list, but there is always hope. Isabel (West Briton Transcribers).
