MISSION

THE
CAPE TOWN FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY

OUR SOCIETY WAS FOUNDED IN ORDER TO CREATE AN AWARENESS OF, AND PROMOTE THE STUDY OF, FAMILY HISTORY AMONGST THE PEOPLE OF CAPE TOWN AND THOSE WHOSE ANCESTORS LIVED IN THIS AREA.

WE ENCOURAGE THE COLLECTION AND PRESERVATION OF ALL FAMILY HISTORY RESORCES.

WE ARE A FORUM FOR THE SHARING OF FAMILY HISTORIES THROUGH: -

ORGANISING SPEAKERS AT OUR REGULAR MONTHLY MEETINGS
OUTINGS TO USEFUL FAMILY HISTORY SITES
AND THROUGH THE SHARING OF INFORMATION BETWEEN MEMBERS

WE ASSIST IN THE TRANSCRIBING OF HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS, OF GENEALOGICAL INTEREST, TO ENABLE EASIER ACCESS TO THOSE DOCUMENTS FOR MEMBERS, AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL.

Neither the Society, nor the webmaster, takes responsibility for material published on behalf of, or by, independent authors. | tony@theAteam.co.za
