Secretary - Glynis Steer 2022

Glynis SteerI was born and bred in Johannesburg and still live there with pride. My interest in genealogy began as early as the 1990s when my mother-in-law abandoned her research after discovering that her grandmother had been jailed for murder and infanticide and had died in prison. What an incentive to start researching family secrets!
I previously served on the Southern Transvaal's (now Johannesburg) branch committee as librarian and newsletter editor, and also offered their training courses on researching one's family history.
I was trained as a librarian and eventually switched to IT systems support.
My husband Rob and I have a Zulu foster daughter and a Mexican/Zulu granddaughter. When I'm not in Johannesburg, I enjoy spending time in the small hamlet of Rosendal in the Eastern Free State.
