Transcriptions

This section contains postings from various BBS sites that relate to Eastern Cape and South African genealogy. I have created this section out of the frustration that I felt trying to search for specific names in the hundreds of listings on the BBS sites. The aim here is to concatenate the related postings so that they may be viewed in one hit. I am currently working on a better system of displaying the data, which will include a much better search facility.

Note: If a name in any of the transcriptions is a link then you can click on it to go to that person's personal information page in the tree, provided you have a valid user account on this site.

Notes

*1 Bathurst refers to the District, including the town of Bathurst plus Clumber, Southwell, Shaw Park, etc. The actual baptism could have taken place at any location within the District, including in private residences.
*2 There are two entries for 1839 in this list.
*3 I am not sure if these are really Somerset East as there was some mis-labelling of microfilms and some Somerset East baptisms were actually Commemoration Methodist baptisms in Grahamstown.
*4 Incomplete - transcription of records in progress.
