That's the joy of belonging to branches...there is always someone to offer advice and many members with years of experience. -----Original Message----- From: south-africa-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:south-africa-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Magda Begeman Sent: 05 December 2011 04:04 PM To: south-africa@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SOUTH-AFRICA] free resources Hallo Everyone I am very new to tracing my family and I found eGSSA very help full. Members have been help full in giving me directions and help. No one treated me like a "newbie" I really appreciated that. I will carry on enjoying the free stuff, where ever I find it. Thank you to everyone for your help. May the Festive Season be filled with family and happiness.
