Thanks, but Family Search, Ancestry.com and My Heritage have very limited On-Line data. I have search all of them with No Results. South Africa Genealogy Societies are much the same. They don't have very much On-Line data. I am looking for someone or some organisation that is very good at researching in South Africa.

Hi Jay,

Thanks for your suggestions. I have searched on this website with no results. My family search is mainly for family who went to South Africa from New Zealand in the late 1800 early 1900. Some were born in New Zealand.  Records of them living in South Africa appears to be very difficult to find. On-Line searching for information is very limited. I have even tried the Catholic Church Organisation for help but I did not even get a reply. Gov't Agents you don't get a reply or a "failed' email. Surley there must be help out there to find answers
