Hi All, I've found the following records on Ancestry24 and am 99.99% certain the person noted in the record is in my family tree (the date of birth is on another record for this man). Not being familiar with South African records, can someone explain to me what each of the lines means, and if there is more info available, how I can access it - bearing in mind that I'm in France? The notations in square brackets are mine. 3049/2000 [2000 = year of death?] Morton Edward 03 May '22 (DOB) [date of birth] 20 St. Blaize [20 St Blaize Way?] Nerina Durbanville 7550 (Bellville).-ABSA Trust Beperk (Registrasie Nommer 01/04665/06) Posbus 1032 Sanlamhof 7532. 1ste Vloer Sanbel Gebou Ou Paarlweg Nr. 2 (Bellville Morton Edward There was also another record which was almost the same: 3049/2000 Morton Edward 22-05-03 03 May '22 (DOB) 20 St Blaize Nerina Durbanville 7550 2000-03-04. ABSA Trust Bpk. [2000-03-04 = date of death?] Posbus 1032 Sanlamhof 7532. Morton Edward I managed to find Nerina, Durbanville on Ananzi Maps, and there is a 20 St Blaize Way. In itself, it's interesting because he was known to be living and working in Johannesburg in the late 1950s / early 1960s, but it's not known when he moved. Thanks for any advice you can offer...

Hi Folks, Idlely looking for information on my great grandfather I stumbled across the British House of Commons Papers on Google Books. This includes land grants to various people (all listed) in Natal in 1848-1850, (Volume 37). Lots of names that may be of interest, certainly to me, 2 of my 3gt grandfathers are listed. Other finds on Google Books include the Kenyan Gazette which includes the voting lists of 1925. 1926 and 1927. Have a look. Best Wishes, Dorri
