5. Re: [ZA] Dutch Reformed Church BMDs [1]
Hallo Maureen The DRC has archives in most of the Provinces (the Old Four) but are not all easily accessible. Most of these records have been filmed by the LDS and the FHC in Parktown, Johannesburg has a very large collection of these films. They also have an index of some of the records of the Cape DRC's in a series of approx. 30 books. It will be well worth your while to start with the index and then work your way through the microfilms. I would be interested in getting a copy of the "Geslagsregister v
6. Marula, karree & Mampuru [Re: Germanic languages Re: [ZA] Wet-nurse RSA] [1]
Marula or maroela & karreeberries are certainly indigenous. The following info from Eve Palmer's _Field Guide to the Trees of Southern Africa_, (Collins, 1977) with illustrations by Rhona COLLETT (Sharon, think you've mentioned COLLETT in some of your mails -- she's a well-known SA artist & botanical illustrator). Karree or karee is the Rhus family, which includes 60 species, & I suspect these berries might be from the "rosyntjieboom" (raisin tree) or "korentebessie" (currant), which I've picked & eaten my
7. Re: [ZA] Wetnurse [1]
Hi Elizabeth You've raised a very interesting question, one of those "hidden" women's issues. I don't know the answer right now, but I will keep my eyes open & let you know if I come across anything of significance, but maybe other Listers have already researched this. All I can add at this stage is that wet nurses have always tended to be a custom among the most privileged strata of any society, so my suspicion is it must have been as common among the upper classes at the Cape in the 18th century as it m

10. [ZA] Beaconsfield and Kimberley [1]
Kimberley's origins were in 1870-71, initially being known only by the original farm names - Vooruitzigt (the De Beers' farm), Bultfontein, Dutoitspan (an early map gives the latter as "Teuzpan" - if you pronounce that the German way, it makes sense!). What became known as Kimberley Mine was initially called New Rush - and so was the town that grew up around it. Once the area came under colonial rule, Lord Kimberley, Secretary of State for the Colonies (Woodhouse by family name), wished that places within

Thanks for refreshing my memory, Dennis Dr ATHERSTONE -- are you sure it's WA?

15. Re: [ZA] John F. BRYANT [1]
Hello James, Just to say that in Port Elizabeth, there are only 4 Bryants' listed in the telephone directory. Also that a Thomas or James Bryant 25 came to South Africa in 1820 as a Settler. His wife was Elizabeth 23 and their children James 4 and Thomas 2. They left England on the "Aurora" and were in Sephtons party. Hopefully someone else will contact you .

17. [ZA] Return to List [1]
I am happy to return to the South Africa List after what seems a long absence, although it is actually only a couple of months. Happy New Year to you all. I have two queries, one for myself: (1) W.H. KENDRICK, who was the proprietor of the Original Crown Hotel in, I think, Adderley Street, c1900. Does anyone know anything about him? For a relly in England: (2) WILLIAM WATTHEY, believed to have left England for Berea, Johannesburg with a wife. Not known if they had children or what happened to him.
18. Re: [ZA] Kimberley [1]
When I wrote last, I had forgotten about Lord Kimberley, but now recall that he was Secretary of State for the Colonies or some such. Towns in the Colonies tended to be named after Governors or the Colonial Secretary, and if they occur in more than one colony and there was no Governor of that name common to the two colonies, then the Colonial Secretary is the more likely source of the name. See, for example, Grey, who was Governor of colonies in both South Africa and Australia and consequently has
