Known Issues
[edit | edit source]

Question #1: Is there a list of browse points with incorrect dates or locations?
Answer #1: The following lists the known browse point labeling errors:

  • South Africa > Cape > Beaufort West > Marriages 1917-1923 should read Baptisms 1917-1923
  • South Africa > Cape > Bellville > Marriages 1960-1968 should read Marriages 1987-1994
  • South Africa > Cape > Middelburg should be in browse point South Africa > Transvaal > Middelburg.
  • South Africa > Cape > Wynberg > Marriages 1965-1974 browse point should Marriages 1932-1937.
  • South Africa > Free State > Kanonheuwel should read South Africa > Cape > Kanonheuwel


Question #2: The records found at browse point South Africa > Cape > Ladismith > Baptisms 1879-1907 are not in chronological sequence. How do I find the record I want?
Answer #2: It appears as if all the right hand pages were filmed then all the left hand pages. When they were combined, they were not in correct sequence. For the most part, there are page numbers on the images which will enable you to arrow forward and back to the correct page. Also, it should be noted that page 210 was not captured in the filming process.

Question #3: At browse point South Africa > Transvaal > NG Kerk > Baptisms, memberships, 1997-1998, A-H, there are duplicate sets of records. Images 865-1638 are duplicates of images 1-764. Images 1639-1728 are duplicates of images 765-864. Should there be other records in place of the duplicate records?
Answer #3: The duplication of records is an error. There are no missing records.
