Can anyone suggest on this list what sort of books would help me to find
clues about two aunts who married prior to WW1. One to an Osterich
breeder/farmer, and the other to an individual who owned a diamond mine.

I am utterly ignorant when it comes to South African politics, immigration,
etc. The two aunts were not poverty stricken when they decided to go to
S.A., and I do not know whether they left from Germany or the US where two
brothers, and two sisters settled.

I have absolutely no other clues to these two aunts, except perhaps to read
where osterich farms were and how long they went with the economy, and
where most of the diamond minds were located. Perhaps that would be a
start.
