Hello, i have a few relatives in my family tree who moved to South Africa in 1936 and 1938, i have been on 'Find my past' and got the passenger list's with them on it, but i was just wondering if anyone has got any tips or advice on where i go from here? i understand i'm not going to get them on any census' but i was hopeing to maybe find there death records? also they moved there with there young childern, so was also hopeing to find out if they married. I have looked on the NAAIRS site but not really found anything on there. Alison.

Sorry for only just replying!

The names i'm interested in are:
Levi Pearson, moved there in 1936 (Travelled on his own)

His son, Levi Pearson, wife margaret, Children who first names are unknown at the moment! but are down as:Mast V. H. Pearson and Mast A. E. Pearson. They all went in 1938. (I think V.H pearson could be Vincent)

Another son, Thomas Clifford Pearson, his wife Ann and children Miss E. Pearson and Miss J. G Pearson. They also went in 1938.


Would welcome any tips or info.

Alison.
