Families from Zimbabwe Death Notices - 1890-1900
Amongst the many Death Notices available on familysearch.org for the period are some relating to people with families. These are being listed here in the hope that they can be connected at some stage to family trees on Geni. Most of those whose DN's can be seen are unmarried men, prospectors, troopers or natives, and make for interesting reading or browsing.
