Hi Gary Thank you for introducing me to this site! Best wishes Heleen -----Original Message----- From: south-africa-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:south-africa-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Gary Cannon Sent: April 12, 2011 5:32 PM To: south-africa@rootsweb.com Subject: [SOUTH-AFRICA] On-line records Thanks! I have been amazed how much genealogical stuff is available to read on-line. Try this - navigate to: http://openlibrary.org/ Select "Only show ebooks" Try various search criteria: parish registers - 349 hits church registers - 194 hits genealogy - 3345 hits passenger lists - 236 hits regimental records - 212 hits What can you think of? Obviously not all relevant to South African researchers - but there is bound to be a lot that is! With the "Only show ebooks" box left blank the number of hits greatly increases, the balance cannot be read on-line, but they will give some indication of the records location. How about this one!: Extracts of marriages at the Cape of Good Hope, 1806-1821: (and baptisms see page n31) http://openlibrary.org/works/OL15243495W/Extracts_of_marriages_at_the_Cape_o f_Good_Hope_1806-1821 I hope this is not old news to everyone.

I see the author is Colin Graham Botha. He was (is) the father of a friend of mine, and is quite well known as a archivist in Cape Town.
