Our quarterly journal FAMILIA has a proud history dating back to 1964. In that year, the Genealogical Society of South Africa was founded in Cape Town. (Read the background to its establishment here). FAMILIA as we know it today, was preceded by genealogical articles published in the journal, Historical Studies, by members of the South African Genealogical Association founded in 1939 under the leadership of Prof. S. Engelbrecht. The association was dissolved at the outbreak of the Second World War.
The formation of the Genealogical Society of South Africa (GSSA) was inspired by Philip Myburg, owner of the historic farm Joostenberg near Stellenbosch. Keenly interested in family research, he invited a group of eight like-minded and eminent individuals who decided to establish a South African genealogical society, which came into being on 17 June 1964 in Cape Town. Membership grew rapidly as more and more South Africans embarked on family research.
One of GSSA’s first objectives at the time was the creation of a quarterly journal, named FAMILIA that continues to serve the genealogical community to this day. The first editor was Dr Cornelis (Cor) Pama, a Dutch-born South African genealogist and prolific writer who was also instrumental in establishing South Africa’s Bureau of Heraldry. He remained in the position of editor of FAMILIA for 28 years.
Among those who followed him were Dr Johannes Heese, Dr Roelf Lombard, Richard Ford and Ferdie van Wyk.
