Geni is NOT connected with Genes Reunited in anyway. -----Original Message----- From: south-africa-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:south-africa-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Eira Makepeace via Sent: February-28-15 9:26 To: south-africa@rootsweb.com Subject: [SOUTH-AFRICA] Genes reunited I joined this site some years ago and managed to get a family tree online. It was free at the time but you could pay a small sum to join Geni pro. Then I saw that my data was being pinched from Geni and even translated into Afrikaans with SA Pama generation numbering and placed on the company website which I understand bought out Geni, called My Heritage. This site does charge a monthly fee but there is no ownership of the data. If you accept this and don't mind the rather clunky way of inputting your data and the difficulty of contacting Geni to amend or remove data, and don't mind if your data is filched by people you do do not know, go ahead.

    3. Hi Grant Like any resource there is some benefit in using it although in IMHO very little but its hard to say how useful it might be as everyone's research is different and you may profit greatly, whereas others may not When I was a subscriber, most messages to users sent went unanswered and the majority of those that did generally knew far less than I did, in some cases their data was wildly inaccurate But again that may be completely different in your case Treat *anything* you find from other researchers with a pinch (if not a sackful) of salt, a found many of the GR users had questionable research skills I found the user family tree system on GR very clunky but that was some time ago and they may well have improved that The records they have are via findmypast as they are owned by the same people I would suggest its probably worth trying for one period to see what you find but do make sure the auto renew is not set as they did have a habit of hiding that Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 28/02/2015 01:33, G B via wrote: > Hi Listers, > > Any views on the "Genes Reunited" site...

    3. What would your main purpose for joining be: putting your tree online, trying to connect with other people or looking up records? I've been a subscriber to GR for quite a while and have found it moderately useful and have had people contacting me regarding the part of my tree which is online. One of the downsides is that about 20% of the messages I send don't get a reply, but I guess people don't renew their sub or move email addresses, so hey ho... I haven't used GR for looking up records so can't comment on how good that part of the site is. I would say it was good for dipping into every now and again to see if a name you are interested in is 'out there somewhere'. Anyway, I haven't yet reached the point where I don't think I'm not getting value for money.

A little gold mine of gold miners:-) I found some of my Kidwell, Hulbert and Edwards... wonderful. My paternal grandfather Walter Oliver HULBERT was one of 11 children, and I just found one of the "missing" siblings, John Henry HULBERT. Great! (Two to go). It turns out he died in the Spanish flu epidemic and his son died a few yrs later age 27 of malaria. Not surprising folks lost track of that line. I am also working on finding all my paternal grandmother EDWARDS's siblings, as she was one of 13. I hope that some of these Rhodesian Edwards records may be useful there. The death notices have awfully little info besides cause of death - no spouse or family requested on the cert, just number of children. Sometimes a relative reports the death and is named. Slim pickings but every little bit can help sometimes. So lovely to have these transcribed and available on line for us. .........Irene -- Irene de Villiers, B.Sc AASCA MCSSA D.I.Hom/D.Vet.Hom. P.O.

    3. Information of that kind doesn't seem to exist on the internet. Like so many of the fine old Cape Town shops, Cartwright's is long gone; the building was acquired by developers, and has been refurbished as a block of apartments for people visiting Cape Town or indeed staying in town for easier access to work, but like all such developments it is ruinously up-market and the plebs just have to put up with the not always satisfactory public transport system. Cape Town is of course not alone in that: when I first arrived in Melbourne in 1961, the close inner suburbs had over the previous 50 years or so degenerated into slums, but since then the trend has reversed, they have become gentrified, and are back to the close-packed residential use they had in the 19th century, only even further up-market -- again, because of the vagaries of the public transport system and traffic-jammed roads. It is made worse by the tendency of small country towns to die and the folk who used to live there flocking to the major cities, and primarily to the Melbourne Metropolitan area, now several times larger than it was before World War I. It's a world-wide problem, particularly severe in Australia, much less so in New Zealand and the UK (or at least in Middle England) and the principal European countries, these last not suffering from the interposition of large more or less arid areas between population centres.

    3. Hi Joy Cartwright, John Dean (*Nantwich, Cheshire, Eng., 9.4.1845 - †Cape Town, 16.10.1930), merchant and politician, was the son of Sampson Edward Cartwright, a baker, and his,wife, Ellen Dean. After attending school at Nantwich and King Edward's School in Birmingham, C. left England with his father in 1856 for Natal, where the latter took up sugar planting. In 1859 C. joined the Cape Town firm of provision merchants, Jacob Watermeyer and Co., and receiving an inheritance from his mother in 1866 invested in that business, taking it over completely in 1873. Under his direction and enterprise the firm grew and prospered, changed its name to J. D. Cartwright and Co., and shifted from Strand Street to bigger premises in Adderley Street in 1888. Ten years later, on the corner of Adderley and Darling Streets, he erected the six-storeyed Mansion House which became the firm's headquarters, and for generations thereafter 'Cartwright's Corner' was to become Cape Town's centre of social gravity. Early in the 1920s the fashion house next door, Fletcher's, amalgamated with Cartwrights, and Fletcher and Cartwright's grocery, chinaware and Manchester departments became nationally renowned. C. was elected to the Cape House of Assembly in 1898, retaining his seat in the 1904 elections as one of the five Cape Town representatives. Though not a very frequent speaker in debates he was a watchful guardian of Cape Town's interests. During the Second Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) he raised a company of a hundred men, 'The Mansion House Company', which he commanded. >From 1907 until the time of Union he was a member of the Legislative Council of the Cape parliament, and afterwards represented the Rondebosch division in the Cape Provincial Council, of which body he was chairman for five years. He was one of the founders of the Y.M.C.A. movement in the Cape and of the East End Public School in De Villiers Street, Cape Town. He acted as a government nominee on the Cape School Board and served on the board of trustees of the Somerset Hospital. He also had other business interests, including a firm which dealt in curry-powder, and was a director and chairman of the Atlas Insurance Company. He was a prominent tennis player, becoming vice-president of the Western Province Lawn Tennis Association. C. was married three times: he first married Dorothy Maud Woolhouse and after her Annie Watermeyer. His third wife, Lottie Mason, survived him. He had seven children, three sons joining the firm as partners. A photograph of C. appears in S.A.W.W. (infra).

    3. Good Morning, Could anyone tell what a Kinderbewijs is and what was it used for. I found reference to this in an application to the High Court for the securing of a portion of an estate for a minor child. Regards Rod g Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device

    3. Dear Bart, Is there a site where I can find the list of Soldiers killed at the Battle of Hlobane, 28 March 1879 (out side Vryheid)?, I am looking for my gggran, Emma Catherine, formally PHILLIPSON, (nee FERREIRA) second husband STEWART, all I know is that he was killed at the battle of Hlobane, I don't even know his first name. After Mr. Stewart's death, Emma married a Mr Evett SAUNDERS, and lived happily ever after. Sorry I had to hijack this thread, as my posts don't seem to be going through.
