Answer #1: See answers below for information about known missing records and their respective film numbers, if available, or alternate online location:

Question #2: The Event Type and Year Range (browse point) title does not properly reflect the actual digital record content. Is there a way to determine what digital records are likely to be found within a collection?
Answer #2: The following list of known browse point discrepancies describes the event type or year range that actually exist in this collection:
- South Africa > Cape of Good Hope > Cape Town, Bellville and Durbanville, All Saints > Baptisms 1859-1971 have been mislabeled as Baptisms instead of Marriages. There are no Baptism records.
- South Africa > Cape of Good Hope > Cape Town, St Mark > Baptisms 1849-1903. The browse point has a typographical error. The records are from 1894-1903 not 1849-1903.
- South Africa > Cape of Good Hope > Kimberley, Barkly West, Klipdam and Windsorton > Marriages 1894-1903. This browse point has been mislabeled. They are baptism records not marriages.
- South Africa > Cape of Good Hope > Kimberley, St. Cyprian > Marriage banns 1871-1937. The browse point name is misleading. The records start at 1910 and include records up to 1964. The records are not necessarily in chronological order.
- South Africa > Natal > Natal, Mid-Illovo and Richmond, St Margaret > Baptisms 1898-1953, marriages 1913-1975 also has death records for the years 1896-1985
- South Africa > Natal > Zululand, Melmoth, All Saints > Baptisms with index 1801-1982. The browse point has a typographical error. The records are from 1901-1982.
