Contact List for German Genealogy in South Africa and Namibia

Go to the German version of this page - Zur deutschen Version dieser Seite  Deutsch


This page lists surnames and/or areas of interest to particular researchers working on descendents of German immigrants to Southern Africa. The idea is that the contact details will allow others with similar interests to contact these (mostly non-professional) researchers. If you would like to have your details added to this page, please send me an email.

Also consult similar but less specific contact lists and scan the relevant forums/mailing lists/news groups related to South African genealogy.
