Irene Schaffer, a Tasmanian historical writer, has asked me if I can find out anything about the White Horse Inn which was in Strand Street at the time of the Boer War. Her present research subject was a member of Kitchener's Bodyguard and > apparently stayed there before taking part in action, and later recuperating from wounds. If anyone can point me to good research sites I would be very grateful. Thank you, Ivy Trott. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Hello to All Whenever I am in town, near to the Houses of Parliament, I have noticed a little lane called "Krom Elmboog" and have wondered at its origins. Recently again in something I was reading I came across a reference to a washerwoman, Sitia van die Kaap, living at number 16 Kromme Elleboog. Has anyone any idea how this street got its name? Regards Sharon Warr

Hello All I am researching the above surname and would like to hear from anyone who might have come across this name in their own research. Thanks and regards Sharon Warr

Hi I was wondering if SKS could help me with finding details of shipping to Cape Town from Sydney Australlia in late 1896? My ancestors arrived in Cape Town in 1896 and Alfred Ormiston worked in Cape Town as a waiter and his wife Louisa, I assume did not. They were still there in 1897. I dont kow what ship they sailed back to Australia on and even if Louisa came back with him. Our family story goes Alfred left Louisa to die after leaving her without her money. She had inherited part of an estate in 1896 when her father died in Sydney. Can anyone tell me where I can go to find some information or if anyone can assist me? Many thanks in advance Louise in Ganmain NSW Oz.

Hi, I am looking for information on the 224 ton vessel "Olympia". Passengers on this vessel disembarked at Port Natal on 10 July 1862. It may have departed from Glasgow 95 days earlier and may have docked at Cape Town as well. I would appreciate any feedback. Regards, Steve

Hi Steve The Cape Town Archives has a copy of most of the Cape Almanacs but you would have to access them somehow. They were directories of all prominent features of life in the Colony - They make very interesting reading. You can also have a look at http://www.sagenealogy.co.za/Scribes.htm for more detail.

Hi Sharon, Thanks for your input. Yes that is the same William Buchanan. He started the "Cape Town Mail" in 1840. In 1854 he merged his paper with "The Advertiser". He retired from Journalism in 1860. The James Buchanan, reporter in 1861, is possibly William's son. Family records indicate that William was the first reporter in SA and for 20 years the only shorthand writer in SA! William was married first to Maria Dorothea MacDonald and then to a Mrs Baumann. How does a novice like me get hold of the Cape Almanac? regards, Steve -----Original Message----- From: Sharon Warr [mailto:snw@absamail.co.za] Sent: Wednesday, February 09, 2005 10:05 PM To: SOUTH-AFRICA-CAPE-TOWN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [South-Africa-Cape-Town] James Buchanan/David Dale Buchanan Hello Steve Welcome to the list.

Hello Steve There is a wonderful set of books that I am busy converting into electronic format called the Dictionary of South African Biography volumes 1 to 7. These will be available on CD in a few months time. There is a article on David Dale Buchanan and on James Buchanan - unfortunately the book with both these articles are away for scanning so unless someone else can help you in the mean time, otherwise you will need to remind me again next week.

Hi, I am a newby to this mailing list. My specific interest is the line of James Buchanan (b. 10 Mar 1774 - Edinburgh, d. 15 Jan 1857 - Pietermaritzburg, Natal). James Buchanan was a founder, together with James Owen of the first infant school in Great Britain, in New Lanark. He subsequently started the first infant school in England, in Westminster. In 1839 he set off for New Zealand, but ended up going no further than Cape Town.....where his sons William and David Dale had settled in 1829 after having intended to emigrate to Australia....... David Dale Buchanan (b.1819, d.4 Sep 1874 in Cape Town), was the founder of the "Natal Witness". I would love to contact anyone who has an interest in this line. I have access to "The Buchanan Family Records", published about 1923. Unfortunately this incredible record does not have many dates of birth etc. Many thanks, Steve Richmond.

Good Day All Following the disaster in South East Asia, and wanting to follow what was happening on-line, I came across this link (amongst others) on the BBC News website. It is an interesting list of earthquakes occuring in South Africa throughout its recorded history. It also has a list of earthquakes and tremors which occur from day to day and I was surprised at just how many there are especially around the Ceres area. For those of us who remember the 'big' one in 1969 here in Cape Town and how it traumatised our lives for months I can sympathise with those who have experienced the terrible consequences of Boxing Day's quake. When I say traumatised I mean that every time a big truck drove past and rattled the windows everyone would run outside thinking it was another tremor - it took ages for life to return to normal. We can only pray for those who have been affected by this tragedy. Check out this site http://www.geoscience.org.za/seismo/historical.htm - it has loads of other interesting pages as well. regards Sharon Warr View 1800s SOUTH AFRICAN PASSENGER LISTS at http://www.sagenealogy.co.za/DataArchive.htm SCRIBES PUBLISHING for Colonial Books on CD - visit http://www.sagenealogy.co.za/Scribes.htm

Good Day to All on the List After a forced absence of a couple of weeks because of a fried Mother Board I have managed to get a temporary PC going (very slow but it works!!!). Firstly - belated best wishes to all for the New Year and hope some of those genealogical teasers are solved in the near future. Hope this year we can make this list a vibrant, happy forum for the exchange of information and ideas - and to start the ball rolling I have published (on my website) a list of over 200 German Military Settlers destined for the Cape who married in the year 1857. Some married in England prior to embarking, some married on board various ships and others on arrival at the Cape. Follow the link http://www.sagenealogy.co.za/DataArchive.htm and see if one of them is yours!

Hi everyone, I have been researching Tapscott families all over the world who have originated mainly in Somerset and Devon. Your National Archives revealed 44 entries for this name. I can account for most of them but a few I cannot identify (I have a compulsion to 'tidy them away'!). I would very much appreciate, if someone has the time, lookups for the following three people. I do not require full transcriptions or images necessarily, but enough if it is available for me to know the person's place and date of birth and name of any spouse.
