My great grandparents went to Capetown, South Africa in 1910, not sure how long they were gone for as they had returned by 1917 when my nan was born, they were on a ship called Southern Star, they had no children out there and did'nt marry/die, I'd love to find the passenger list for the ship but I've no idea if it would be here or in S Africa, any ideas? Any S Africa research tips or sites would be useful :~) George
