Hallo All, especially Cindy

I am looking for John, Joseph and James Patrick O'Brien in Rhodesia around
1934. John died in 1935 at the age of 62 years and his wife and two sons
have since disappeared from the face of the South of Africa!!

Cindy, do you have an index or directory for that period for Southern
Rhodesia ?

I would appreciate any assistance with a lookup.

Kind regards
