Publishing of extracts from the Grahamstown Jounal continues. I have started to publish them monthly rather than quarterly, as there are more issues of the paper to go through. I only need to transcribe a few more pages and my Word file of GTJ transcriptions will have reached 1,000 pages!
See the extracts from the Grahamstown Journal, now up to December 1882, on the Newspaper Extracts section of the eGGSA web site.

Keith Meintjes has provided a parser for NAAIRS online index references, which neatly formats them into a spreadsheet program (eg: Excel, etc).
This will prove very useful for anyone needing to save a large number of such references. The details can be found on our The Meintjes NAAIRS Parser page.
Thanks to Keith for making this available and to his son, Ian, for creating it.

Corney Keller continues his magnificent series of transcriptions of the Cape Town Dutch Reformed (Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk) records - the marriage records are now available up to 1770.
His transcripts of these marriages (1696 to 1770) have also been adapted for the eGGSA BDM database and can be searched there.
Many thanks to Corney for his tireless and wonderful work on these records
