Peter Raper, New Dictionary of South African Place Names: ARRIESDRIF: Ford in the Orange River some 30 km ENE of its mouth, at 28 30 S, 16 43 E. Then, there is a bunch of stuff about where the name comes from. According to my maps, there is not a road crossing there today.

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
