Hello Michele I wonder if you do me a huge favor. I am looking for any Curston in SA since 1902. I have been looking for well over 8 years but from Capetown this is not too easy. The only place I havent looked are the Masters Office records. I do know that they arrived in Durban in 1902 and were resident in Durban in 1958 still. (Lionel Curston). Is there any way to check if they are on your database?
