Birth and Baptisms
- Baptisms Cape
- 1652-1800
- The records of the Dutch Reformed Church (NGK) have all been indexed as far as I can tell and are spread over three searchable databases with duplication in some cases.
- Familysearch for the Cape. To note, a few hard to read pages were skipped and not indexed.
- eGGSA Baptisms
- eGGSA Cape and Stellenbosch
- Ring registers 1845-1899
- Index to surnames. First find the family member in this index. Note the town, register number and page. Next to that index link is the baptism records for the Cape link. Unfortunately Family Search did not index them by register number but by Rings up to about 1888 Thereafter alphabetically by town. With the Rings, take the year you are looking for and open the collections. At the back of the collections, usually the last or second/third last or so exposure gives a list of what was filmed in that collection. There are register numbers as well. Make a note of how many exposures were in each register. Now work back from the exposure count on the left top to find the right register where it starts. You have the page number now browse to the right page.
- Note A new index of the Familysearch Collection of these Ring registers can be found under the town names at My People Puzzle
