Thanks Ian... I'll keep my hopes up! The stories are what keep us digging too aren't they? Hope yours is a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year in beautiful New Zealand...it's the rainy season here in California and the new year has begun with mudslides and flooding.

In the mail came a photocopy of the item that I had requested information about and - guess what? - no charge! So don't give up hope! And the post script - it was not my man! I finally found him in Melbourne, Australia! So much for the family legend that he remained in South Africa after the Anglo Boer war working for South African Railways! His family in South Australia did not know where he was but he wasn't hiding - he is buried in Melbourne beside his aunt. I would love to know the full story but it is unlikely that I ever will.

Does anyone know a faster way that I can go about getting the information? Perhaps I'm doing something wrong? I contacted them via their website requesting the payment method and providing all of the information that I thought they required, however, I'm not sure what has happend. I live in the USA so a personal visit is out of the question :-) Thanks for any help. Sharon Heyne. > MOOC 6/9/354 1512 HEYNE, DANIEL ADRIAN.
