Hallo Steve The closest I get to Arries is Ariamsvlei - the Namibian side of the borderpost between South Africa and Namibia. Maybe there was an Ariamsdrift across the Oranje River near Ariamsvlei ? Just a wild guess !

Google maps shows me Yale University or somewhere in Wales, so that's no good. An ancestor crossed it in July 1862 taking cattle from Damaraland to sell in the Cape, and I'm trying to see the route they took. -- Keep well, Steve Hayes Blog: http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/famhist1.htm E-mail: shayes@dunelm.org.uk ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SOUTH-AFRICA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
