Method
Searching
- I have used EGGSA for Baptismal searches here: http://www.eggsa.org/bdms/Baptisms.html.
- Some tips for searching are as follows:
- Check the year order
- I find it easier to use the mother or fathers name to search as you will see other siblings for confirmation
- Use the mother or fathers surname whichever is less likely to have many spelling variations or interpretations. for example: Smit vs van der Merwe. You may end up checking both.
- Check the name for portion that cannot be misinterpreted or spelled differently - for example van Heerden the 3 letters eer or erd will be in most spellings so try them as the surname and use the This appears anywhere in the name option.
- If you get a long list after your search use the first name field and again use only 3 letters. Use variations of the spelling to try and find your required entry. Some ideas - use ij in place of y so Steijn or Meijer. Check sibling profiles for alternate spellings especially the closer siblings as the same clerk may have written the entry.

Citing Your Source
- When using the EGGSA site for searches always acknowledge their hard work thqat makes our job/hobby/joy easier and in some cases possible (from New Zealand).
- I use the following citation:
- Source: The Genealogical Society of South Africa: eGSSA branch, South African Records Transcribed. A selection of historical records transcriptions (http://www.eggsa.org/sarecords/ : accessed 31 Aug 2018),
- and then add the particular Source that appears at the bottom of the entry you have found. as above for Anna Catharina Smit.
