The 1848 Graham's Town Journal has now been transcribed by Sue Mackay and is available. Many of you will find familiar names such as Crozier, Lloyd, Dold, Trollip, Marsh etc.
Mr Jeremy Oddy, Durban High School Archivist, has kindly given his permission for information contained in the
'The Durban High School Record 1866 - 1906'
to appear on 'Genealogy World'. Mr Oddy also suggested that we might like to include the names listed in 'The DHS Story 1866-1966'. Those who served in Wars of the 20th Century are therefore available. I hope you will find these several lists helpful.
I am often quite amazed at how little people know about their grandparents .. perhaps you will be fortunate to find names in the DHS Lists that assist you in furthering your family tree research.
Mr Jeremy Oddy would appreciate anyone who has information (in addition to that already known) contacting him in this regard.
Rosemary Dixon-Smith has generously offered to do f*r*e*e look-ups for anyone interested in knowing more about the names in these lists. Click on the link to the DHS Page link.
In the search for earlier family members it might be worth your while having a look at the lists of Natal Dentists and Chemists and Druggists.
I am sure you will enjoy reading about Francis Farewell (1793 - 1829) and the first white settlement at Port Natal. Another item of maritime interest concerns a ship 'Lyngenfjord' which ran aground on January 14, 1938, at a place known as Huisklip.
One of our subscribers has the following two books on his bookshelves:
THE ARTS IN SOUTH AFRICA edited by W H K Published & Printed by Knox

If you are interested, please send me an e-mail and I will forward it for a f*r*e*e look-up.
That's all for now,
Kind regards,
Delyse Brown

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300 C. The Russians used a pencil.
