eGGSA Graves

At last we have got the new graves website done and available: graves.eggsa.org

I have done my best with the help of Riana le Roux and Corney Keller.

I have had to transfer all the photos to the new webserver and then, using program scripts, transfer all the captions and descriptions from the old database to the new one. I cannot guarantee that every item has been correctly done but I believe that 98% is correct.

It was quite a job!

The photos are now available but there is still work to be done: on the Search side, for instance. Also we know that many of the images are sideways on and we will be working on correcting those. Please report any other problems you encounter by sending me a link to the problem, Richard Ball

Please do continue sending any edits, as well as new grave photographs to us, we will attend to it as soon as we can, Riana le Roux and George Crewe

eGSSA serves its members by:

promotion providing information, publications and research education

promotion establishing important links with other groups world-wide.

promotion increasing public awareness of opportunities for discovering family history.

promotion promoting interest in the fascinating field of genealogy.

promotion promoting a number of projects aimed at expanding the availability of South African genealogical sources online.

For many years, there have been people who, for various reasons, could not join a regular GSSA branch. Some of these reasons include living too far from a branch or living outside South Africa. These people still have a need to belong to a branch and to enjoy the benefits of GSSA membership, such as receiving GSSA's journal, Familia. eGSSA has been established to meet these needs. This is an ideal opportunity to become part of GSSA and to step into this exciting era.

At eGSSA we have an Online shop where you can buy the various publications of the Genealogical Society of South Africa, as well as a number of other genealogical, historical and cultural items.

There are indexes to the articles in Familia, the quarterly journal of the GSSA and those in genesis, journal of eGGSA itself. In addition we have a download library with some free books in pdf format, a number of documents from the South African Archives as well as photographs of graves in South African cemeteries.
