----- Hi all you wonderful listers (yes, I am buttering you up, but it is true!) My NEWEST cousin (I did have her in the file, but we've only got to know one another over the last week or so) has asked me to look up information on her husband's parents and grandparents.... I've tried Ancestry....didn't find anything there; tried the IGI, wasn't successful there, looked on NAAIRS, haven't found anything helpful there!! Rita's husband has the following information on his family.... Details: MARCELLO ROLLANDI married to CATERINA ROLLANDI ( nee RICOBALDI) - Tex's maternal grandparents. JAMES CHARLES COOPER married to ANNIE MATILDA COOPER ( nee STEIGER) - Tex's paternal grandparents. (Steigers were from Germany, then came to SA? ARTHUR EDWARD COOPER married to ANGELINA ERNESTINA - Tex's father and mother married in Pretoria, SA Apologies, I have no dates for anything - Tex's maternal grandparents came from Italy to SA before 1912 - that is about all I know! His parents were born and died in South Africa. Many thanks, Best wishes, Tombi Peck

Thanks Heather! So very kind. It's fortunate that they live in Pretoria.... I'm trying to get her to go there as I only managed to scratch the surface of the BROWNE files when I visited there a couple of times...it was unfortunate that the friend I was staying with on both occasions of my visits to South Africa is totally unsympathetic towards my wanting to spend time at the archives; she can see no point to family history whatsoever (although her paternal lineage in Northumbria is possibly very extensive...she emigrated to South Africa with her parents at the age of 5!! It's strange, three of my closest friends are totally opposed to my interest in family history. best wishes, Tombi. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Heather MacAlister - Ancestry 24" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 08, 2011 6:42 AM Subject: Re: [SOUTH-AFRICA-CAPE-TOWN] Fw: A bit of help please! > Tombi > > You need to search with surname only to get better results > > > ROLLANDI, MARCELLO > > Surname: ROLLANDI > > Collection: Transvaal Deceased Estates Index 1855 - 1976 > > > > ROLLANDI, ENRICO GIOVANNI UMBERTO > > Surname: ROLLANDI > > Collection: Transvaal Deceased Estates Index 1855 - 1976 > > Regards > Heather > > Heather MacAlister > Channel Manager > Tel:021 468 8957 > Fax:+27 (0)86 581 0390 > www.ancestry24.co.za > Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ancestry24 > Skype: Ancestry24 > Facebook: Ancestry24 > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tombi > Peck > Sent: 07 January 2011 09:34 PM > To: South Africa Cape Town > Subject: [SOUTH-AFRICA-CAPE-TOWN] Fw: A bit of help please! > > > ----- > > Hi all you wonderful listers (yes, I am buttering you up, but it is true!) > > My NEWEST cousin (I did have her in the file, but we've only got to know > one another over the last week or so) has asked me to look up information > on her husband's parents and grandparents.... > > I've tried Ancestry....didn't find anything there; tried the IGI, wasn't > successful there, looked on NAAIRS, haven't found anything helpful there!! > > Rita's husband has the following information on his family.... > > Details: > MARCELLO ROLLANDI married to CATERINA ROLLANDI ( nee RICOBALDI) - Tex's > maternal grandparents. > JAMES CHARLES COOPER married to ANNIE MATILDA COOPER ( nee STEIGER) - > Tex's paternal grandparents.

Hi Tombi, just a shot in the dark, but I looked in our local Durban phone book - it is a very uncommon surname - and I found one entry: FH ROLLANDI, living at Kinross Mews, Kinross Place, Grosvenor (an area on the Bluff part of Durban). Hope this will turn out to be of some help. Best wishes for 2011 Rose

Wow! Thank you Rose...you're fantastic. I'll pass the information on to my cousin....I'm sure they will be delighted!
