Luann - how wonderful of you to share that letter of your g-g-g/mother's. One could almost see the things she was writing about. Good luck with your hunting, I am sure you will get lots of information from this site, I know I have, and am so grateful for it. Kind regards, Coral Anna (Cartwright) Foster ex Cape Town - now in Mt. Solon, VA USA. -----Original Message----- From: LB Seamons [mailto:lubose@mstar2.net] Sent: Monday, July 25, 2005 1:28 PM To: SOUTH-AFRICA-CAPE-TOWN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [South-Africa-Cape-Town] my Capetown ancestors named BODILY Hi, I am Luann B Seamons of Preston, Idaho, USA. My Bodily ancestors were in Capetown early in their stay in South Africa. I would like to learn about the ship they came to South Africa in and the following questions that I am asking along with a copy of a fun letter from my ancestor apparently written in her own hand and here transcribed by a descendant. They were only in Capetown for only a couple of years while the work was going on to renew the battlements there. * CONFIDENTIALITY/PRIVACY NOTICE - The documents included in this transmission may contain information that is confidential and/or legally privileged.
