Member Since: February 2003 Posts: 0 Send Message	I have just found that a member of my Clilverd line was born in South Africa some time after 1905. I do not know if they stayed there or if they were male or female . I do know that the mothers surname was Halley but have not found a marriage for them so they could have married across there. Does anyone have any tips about researching in South Africa from Britain?
