PROJECT Ancestral chart initiative
Project leader Otto Diedericks
The project is an initiative of the Northern Transvaal branch of the Genealogical Society of South Africa.
Description
This project aims to document, share and preserve as much data of South African families as possible. In this way, the current South African Family Registers (SAF registers) will also be updated. For more details on the project visit the Ancestral Chart Challenge on Northern Transvaal’s webpages where you will find more information, as well as examples and blank pages (forms) to download and use.
Deliverables
Family group chart(s) and and/or Pedigree chart(s) (to be completed on blank forms provided) and/or Ancestral chart (e.g. in GEDCOM format).
Invitation
Members of the GSSA and the public are encouraged to complete and submit their family group / ancestral chart information in any of the formats mentioned above, for safe custody.
