Hello,
Does anyone know if there are any records which are searchable on line for Zimbabwe, Africa?

Thanks Elaine and PigletsPal.
I have a cousin who married in 1957 in Manchester, and I heard recentley that he had died in Bulawayo,( don't know when) so I would like to try and trace him, his wife and I'm sure they had a son. So I will definately try family search. I don't suppose Ancestry worldwide would cover Africa, would they?
Thanks,
Christine.

Would it be worth contacting the British Embassy (assuming he was British)?

Thanks, DetEcTive. Will give that a try. Yes he was British.
Can't find him on the Family Search Death records for Zimbabwe.
Will keep trying.

Christine.
