In NAAIRS you will find Death Notices and estate files. These documents will
contain information on birth and marriage, but are only as reliable as the
informant at the time of death.

Please look at the various SA Genealogy Websites for further "how to" on
genealogy in South Africa. It is different than Britain (which I know), and
Australia (which I believe).

Best wishes.
