Listers, to show the value of this film for research we will answer Laura's query with two printouts we took from film 1495574.film cost $5.00 printouts $2.00 Marriage Register No 91 Claude Vincent Ferdinands age 34 batchelor , burgher, clerk, 374 Serpentine Rd Borella Father John Henry Ferdinands, 3rd Landing Surveyor HM Customs married 7th April 1945, Dutch Reformed Church, Regent Street Colombo. Ezlynne Nesta Struys age 29 spinster burgher 1053 3rd Division Maradona Father Hector Bertram Struys Post master retired The Communion Roll for the Church shows Hector Bertram Struys 3rd Division Maradona Cora Nesta nee Jansz Ezlynne Nesta Joyce Myrtle Oswin Ronald there are birth and baptism dates for the 3 children, but you have to read off the film and transcribe the dates as they are impossible to read from the copies. We printed out this information because we knew some listers were interested. We were so pleased to get our 4 Anderson marriages and a listing for 2 of my living sisters in a communion roll What we as a group need to do is transcribe the film so all can see the data for free. We have most of the names off the films for marriages and communion rolls and have printed about twenty sheets of interest to our own research, but there are lots of marriages and deaths which would be of interest to numerous listers that we cant possibly transcribe in the 2 hours that our library is open each week. We ordered film 1495575 and hope to extract more marriages off it over the next month. We are still waiting on the Negombo Schooltombo to see if any Andersons are in it, and to see if Schooltombos have hidden treasures too. Cheers,and Good Night Coreen&Larry
