Hello Carol I did a search on the National Archives web site an found the estate papers for Susanna Maria but I see they have spelt her maiden name incorrectly. You will either have to write yourself to the Cape Town Archives for a copy of the death notice, ask someone nicely on the mailing list or pay a researcher. Hopefully her estate papers will include a death notice which "keeping fingers crossed" should give her parents names and or place of birth. kind regards Heather DEPOT KAB SOURCE MOOC TYPE LEER VOLUME_NO 6/9/4746 SYSTEM 01 REFERENCE 49716 PART 1 DESCRIPTION NORTJE, SUSANNA MARIA MAGDALENA.

Am enjoying your mailing lists. My name is Carol Nortje and I live in Queensland, Australia. I am trying to research my husbands side of the family. His father was Petrus Cornelius Nortje born 30 Sep 1908 in Jansenville, Cape Province and died in Johannesburg on 21 October 1963. We think his brothers names were Daniel; James; Anton; Wilfred; and also two sisters who died during a Flu epidemic between 1914 - 1918. We don't know the parents names but think his Mothers Maiden name was Roach and that she came to South Africa from Northern Ireland as a girl. I think there were quite a few Nortje relatives in Port Elizabeth and probably still are. Would really appreciate some help from someone out there.

Hi Heather and all, Could anyone tell me why I am having difficulty with Naairs Search - I get page one of a enquiry fine but I cannot go to page two or higher numbers. I have always been able to do this, am I doing something wrong? Thanks in anticipation. Fay

Hi Faye I have had no trouble with NAAIRS - perhaps you need to empty your "memory cache" - could be a memory problem on your computer. I bit like out brain when we get old and the brain is full we start forgetting things - hope this improves kind regards Heather Heather's South African Genealogy Help List at www.genealogy.co.za is soon due to be re-vamped and re-launched.
