Shooh Joy! What a wonderful offer - thank you so much! Do I have to be very specific - not enough to say Dordrecht / Indwe region - although I think Indwe changed from private farms to communal Transkei land or whatever. I will try and do a little more research on this. -----Original Message----- From: south-africa-eastern-cape-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:south-africa-eastern-cape-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of joy Sent: 24 October 2012 07:17 PM To: south-africa-eastern-cape@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ZA-EC] Re Farm maps OK - After lurking for ages, I now have something to offer. A friend of mine works there, and has let me know that you pay for PRINTED copies of the maps, but DIGITAL copies of the maps are free. I have the full set of South African maps - about 20 GIGABYTES !! If you know the map you want, drop me a line, and I will send it to you - before the end of this month if possible as I have some bandwidth left over !

Or the GPS coordinates !
