Blogs vs Forums
Did you know that a creating a blog is like being a journalist for your own newspaper and reporting and telling stories about you and your family? And Forums is where you post queries and ask for help like the classified section of the newspaper.
Our Forums have 13 different categories such as Adoption, Cape Slavery, Cemeteries, Contributions Q + A, Desperately Seeking, DNA, FAQ, General Topics, Heraldry, Immigration to South Africa, Military And Naval, Reunions. Each one of these categories has been carefully selected as to the most common questions asked by family historians and genealogists.
