Northern Transvaal Branch - Memory Lane 2020

Written by Germaine Smith.

We live through history daily – and eventually it all becomes part of our own personal history. The world is changing so rapidly that those memories of our childhood years already elicit amazement in today’s young people: evenings without TV, using a ‘tickey box’ to phone someone, church services under a big tree during holidays at the seaside … Genealogy demands that we also pen our own stories with which to walk others down our own memory lane.

Northern Transvaal Branch - Allegaartjie 2021

Written by Germaine Smith.

The Allegaartjie meeting has become an annual institution of the Northern Transvaal branch, during which branch members present a variety of talks - usually something of everything. The Afrikaans word ‘Allegaartjie’ actually means that one accumulates, collects or combines different things to be jointly entertained by the variety.
