Hi Everyone, Has anyone been to or know much about Accra, Ghana? I am interested in a Methodist burial there in October 1961. Can you help? John |

Just a little nudge in case all those thousands of people that have been to Accra have missed my thread. |

Sorry I can't help John, but I would be very interested if anyone else can - one of my ancestors died in Accra in 1920's. Bev x |

Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I've only just noticed that I can start posting again. I've sent an email to the High Commission in Accra. Haven't had a reply yet but will let you know if anything happens. John |

I don't know if this will help if you're specifically interested in a burial, rather than a death, but consular and other overseas registrations can be viewed online for free at FamilyRelatives.org [registration required]. |
