Remember to also look at the links for specifically German genealogy in South Africa.

Starting points for genealogy in South Africa:
• Genealogical Society of South Africa
• Genealogical Institute of South Africa
• South African Genealogical Page - this is a good starting point
• Lehmkuhl Family Home Page - contains some useful information
• Cyndi's List of South African Genealogical Sites - the best collection of genealogical links worldwide.
• Information on South African 'Stam ouers' (partially in Afrikaans)
• Ship Passenger Lists (especially for Cape Town and Durban/Port Natal).
