To: Karen Kennedy Fr: Jim Cole-Rous Topic: John Grey Brown Suggestion: Rhodesiana Society Publications Karen, The society published 40 issues between 1958 and 1979 dealing with people and places in Rhodesia. You can find a good series of references in the footnotes of the Wikipedia page on this. You can also find several booksellers who have copies of the publications for sale. Start with this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodesiana Then you can 'Google' Rhodesiana to for links to other sources and booksellers. Rhodesiana later became the History Society of Zimbabwe. Finally here is a link to a genealogical society that deals with families and connections in Zimbabwe. http://www.kindredtrails.com/zimbabwe.html Good Luck in your search, Jim Cole-Rous On Mon, Nov 19, 2012 at 2:00 AM, < south-africa-cape-town-request@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
