Hi, I am researching TAPSCOTT families who mainly originated from Somerset and Devon but who by the 19th century had spread all over the world including Australia, USA and Canada. Anyone descended from a TAPSCOTT emigrant to South Africa, please get in touch. I know there was a family in the Kimberley area which originated in Somerset. I am keen to expand my knowledge of this family but would also like to hear of others, whether families or individuals. Colleen Tapscott http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Tapscott-Family-Somerset/

Afternoon all Familytree.co.za is pleased to announce their latest addition to their web site which is their new 'death notice template" This facility will enable all of us to share those hundreds and thousands of death notices which we have filed away at home and can now make them available to everyone. By simply entering the information on the template and clicking the "send" button, this information will be sent straight to a database and then uploaded onto the website on a daily basis. The National Archives are "over the moon" with this new concept as it will ease the strain on the staff at the various archives and most importantly the preservation of these documents, which are deteriorating at an alarming rate. There is also a downloadable excel template for those people who have large amounts of these documents.

The IGI seems to be adding lots of South African names at the moment, and have been happy to find some family links. Is anybody researching the MEYER family represented by PIETER J. MEYER, born about 1750 in Stellenbosch who married ANNA JULIA VAN DEN HEEVER, and their descendents? My husband is connected through two/three maternal lines. Also intrigued to find that his great-grandmother, SOPHIA WILHELMINA KOCK, married twice, first time to a THOMAS ROBERTS and they had a daughter named SOPHIA MARIA ROBERTS and possibly a son also. Would love to know something about the Roberts family. Go well! Ivy Trott. Go well! Ivy Trott.

Hello Mike Just a quick one - unfortunately you will not be given access to the adoption file unless you are that person. Because it is such a sensitive issue and one does not know what will be found in those documents they are highly restricted. Only the person involved an attorney or a social worker would be given access.

Thanks , Someone had sent me the details of the death notice for Charles Levi SCOTT. That's where I got my original information from. As for the other document - Liquidation and Distribution account. Is that like a will? Could I ask anyone who is going to the Cape Town Repository, if they could look it up for me please. I'm not sure how big a job I am asking, and if it is too big then don't worry. I also would love to know about Florence Emily Leath Scott nee Robson and her daughter Iris Isabel Scott. If Iris is still alive, I have a whole lot of relatives in England who would be pleased to find her. Any help, greatly appreciated. In return I may be able to help people with some English research.

Hi, I am new to the list, My name is Maureen and I live in Norfolk, England. I have just found out that my Great Uncle, Charles Levi SCOTT, died in Capetown on 4 7 1914. The death notice says that he was married to Florence Emily Leath, born as ROBSON and that they had a daughter Iris Isabel SCOTT born 28. 9. 1913. This opens up a brand new branch of the family to me and the first time I have found any ancestors in South Africa. Can someone point me in the right direction to find out more details of my Charles Levi Scott, his wife and daughter. Thanks Maureen
