Wendy, I think the Belfast Weekly News was taken over by the Belfast Newsletter in the early 1900s. I would presume that if a message was intended for S Afeica, then it would be copied. Would the missionary organisation be able to help? Brian "Wendy o. Grant" <georgepatrick@optusnet.com.au> wrote: I have a sister of my grandfather Minnie Leathem, I have a few marriages possible for her, but none that are certain. She left Ireland with her husband ? and went to the congo as a missionary, where its thought they where murdered. I know her brothers tried to find her by hireing some one but I wonder if they put it in the paper. She was still single and 19 in 1911. Any ideas would be wonderful thanks Wendy. P.S I wonder if South African papers copied these notices ? ----- __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
