Hello Jeff Welcome to our mailing list. For starters can you please send to the list the names of the people you are looking for ? You might find that someone on the list that has researched this family or knows something about them. Believe it or not Cape Town is a very small place. Looking for a birth or a marriage is sometimes not as easy as it seems. Firstly it might be good to know where about they lived or what religious denomination they belonged to. Church records can be searched or you can write to the priest in charge to ask him to look up in his registers. Another place is the Department of Home Affairs where all births and marriages are supposed to be registered. You can write to them and order copies of the certificates but the less information you have the less likely chance of you getting a response. The Cape Town archives also holds birth and marriage certificates but again you would have to know in which magisterial district the even was registered. Please send more details and we will all try and help kind regards Heather Heather's South African Genealogy Help List www.genealogy.co.za The 1902 Municipal Voters Roll of Cape Town - Districts 1 to 6 The 1878 Voters Roll for the Cape is now available with tens of thousands on names !!! 1805, 1829, 1835 and 1849 Cape Almanacs now on CD The Juta's Directory of 1900 which lists residents of Cape Town from the City Bowl until Simonstown.
