Hi, I'm Haideen Coetzee

(2002/12/03)

I have an art project about "the cord that binds us" and I would like to find out who my ancestors are so that I can do my task. Can I get help?

Sure, Haideen!  What do you know already? It is the kind of research where we have to start from the known facts and work backward.  Information on living people is usually not very available in official records, so best to start by asking your parents and grandparents - they are your best source for information on their lives.  Your grandparents, if still alive, are your best source for information about their parents, and they might know their grandparents' names, dates, and significant geographical places.  

After you get back that far, we can help you find records.  Please feel free to send me a private message if you like.

Cheers
