The Cape of Good Hope Government Gazette

So far as I can gather from internet searches, this newspaper started life in 1800 as The Cape Town Gazette and African Advertiser, changingn its name in June 1826 to The Cape of Good Hope Government Gazette. (see: South African History Online, and National Library of South Africa. Richard Ball.

Alta Griffiths has scanned sections from those issues available in the Stellenbosch University Library and Brenda Gassner and Richard Ball are working at transcribing extracts for this section of the web site.

Where a reading is doubtful or illegible, it is enclosed in square brackets.

Additionally, Liz Eshmade has contributed her transcripts of Colin Graham Botha's extracts from from earlier issues of this periodical, Baptisms of English persons, 1810-1821,  and marriages of English persons, 1806-1821, and these have been added to the BDMs database section of the web site.
