Dear All, I agree wholeheartedly and also thank the transcribers for their dedication and tireless work to compile these. As a member of the "mixed-breed" race of South Africa, I would love to be able to assist, but do not have the internet connection to allow me to download these forms on a mass basis. Saying this, I would gladly assist where I can if those transcribers require it. Send me the documents and I'll gladly help to transcribe them.

I do realise that there is potential for error if the transcribers are not familiar with indigenous names, but I, for one, am very willing to assist with checking transcriptions before they are released to the lists.
