Familia - History

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.

DIE GENEALOGIESE GENOOTSKAP VAN SUID-AFRIKA

In die jaar 1939 het 'n klompie Suid-Afrikaanse genealoë onder leiding van prof. S.P. Engelbrecht die eerste Suid-Afrikaanse Genealogiese Vereniging gestig. Aangesien die vereniging nie in staat was om 'n eie tydskrif uit te gee nie, is ruimte in Historiese Studies vir genealogiese artikels beskikbaar gestel. Die heer Hoge het veral heelwat artikels bygedra. Ongelukkig het die vereniging weens 'n gebrek aan belangstelling en die uitbreek van die Tweede Wêreldoorlog, doodgeloop.
Die tweede poging is in die jaar 1964 in Wes-Kaapland op die historiese plaas Joostenberg naby Stellenbosch, eiendom van mnr. P.A. Myburg aangewend. Daar is besluit om 'n genootskap in die lewe te roep, wat toe ook op 17 Junie 1964 op 'n vergadering in Kaapstad plaagsgevind het. Die eerste bestuur van die Genealogiese Genootskap van Suid-Afrika het bestaan uit: ds H.C. Hopkins (voorsitter); mnr I. Mitford-Barberton (ondervoorsitter); dr. J.A. Heese (sekretaris); mnr. P.A. Myburg (tesourier) en dr. C. Pama (redakteur).
Binne tien jaar het die ledetal tot meer as driehonderd aangegroei. Die vernaamste prestasie van die genootskap is sy lyfblad Familia, wat sedert 1964, elke kwartaal verskyn.

Die inhoud van al die Familia uitgawes vanaf 1964 tot 1999 is tans op CD beskikbaar. Ook vorige uitgawes van Familia is beskikbaar. Beide items kan by die Genootskap bestel word.
