Transcriptions of Cape Civil Death Indices


Index list of Transcribed South African Cape Civil Deaths of Certificates

In 1894 South Africa passed a Law that all Births Deaths and Marriages should be recorded. The actual records have been stored in the Provincial Archives, and scanned by the Church of the Latter Day Saints into digital records.

These indices are being transcribed by volunteers from the ZA-IB and ZA-EC Rootsweb mailing lists from viewing the actual digital records held on www.familysearch.org. Transcribing is not an easy task (hats off to those who do), and the original handwriting is not always clear or legible. If you do spot any errors in the transcriptions, please let me, or the lists, know, so we can correct the data. They should be all available in the Rootsweb Archives of ZAF-INDEX, ZA-EC and ZA mailing lists, and the complete transcriptions of all races per district and year on the eGGSA website and will also be searchable.

Records from those transcriptions have been captured into a database table, which then allows me to be display them in alphabetical order according to the surname. A list of the Towns / Regions and the years that I have imported are shown below.

The names that appear in any of these transcription lists may or may not be related to any of the 1820 Settlers. The database is here as an aid for you to help finding your relations.

By selecting the first letter of the surname of interest from the links below, it will lead you to a page of all the surnames in the database table that start with that letter. From there, it is possible to select the surname, and all the captured records for that surname will be displayed.

To View the actual record of the Cape Civil Death Certificate, you will need to open www.familysearch.org in your browser, click on the shown steps, and then enter the image number.

Please be aware that not all records from the Church of the Latter Day Saints repository of church record collections have been transcribed.
