Hi Carol, Welcome to the Cape List. Have you done a NAAIRS Search? http://www.national.archsrch.gov.za/sm300cv/ At the KAB Database 42 MOOC documents were found for Petrus NORTJE. These would be Death Notices and/or Estate Papers, which are very informative as they very often mention parents' names, spouse and children. There are also 4 References to Mortgage Bond Documents for NORTJE, born ROACH at the Cape Archives. For more recent Death Notices you will have to do a search at Cape Master Death Notice Index Project. At Heather's Genealogy HelpList http://www.genealogy.co.za/ At Church Registers you can download Ellen Stanton's transcriptions (over 5000 entries) Could this be Anton? of Port Elizabeth?
