Thank you Denise. I wrote to the Mental Institutions in Pietermaritzburg some while ago enquiring about Gertie CLAASSEN and although I received one reply promising to help if they could ,I have not been able to find out anything further about her. Thanks for your help David. -----Original Message----- From: south-africa-eastern-cape-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:south-africa-eastern-cape-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Denise Igesund via Sent: Wednesday, 15 April 2015 7:06 AM To: south-africa-eastern-cape@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ZA-EC] Town Hill Mental Hospital, Pietermaritzburg.
