TAB - Transvaal Archives
As promised we will be doing sub projects for the individual archives in South Africa
ALL PROFILES ADDED HERE MUST BE ON THE WORLD TREE OR CAN BUILD FURTHER TO A PROFILE ON THE WORLD TREE
The aim of this project is to help users to get to know how and where to look for death notices, etc.
It will also be a place to park your sources
The question have been asked a lot of times on how too obtain them, this will give you an idea
.
Here you can add your SOURCES of the old Transvaal Province
These will be all sources you get in the TAB NAAIRS Archival Centre, or other retrieval centre in the old Transvaal anywhere.
We will explain to you how the Archive works and what road or roads to take to get information on your ancestor.
In the TAB are only estates up to 1978 are available. The rest are still in the Master Office due to a lack of space.
NO Profiles in the Body of this project please
