Ancestry24 takes St George’s Cathedral in Cape Town, South Africa, Records Online

Posted by admin on Mar 28, 2009

Ancrestry24.co.za, South Africa’s premier genealogy and ancestral website, has partnered with the Anglican Church in making the marriage and baptism records of St George’s Cathedral in Cape Town accessible online. St George’s is the oldest cathedral in southern Africa and is the mother church of the Anglican diocese of Cape Town.

A total of 3,633 marriage records, dating from the first available St Georges records in 1825 and over 6,000 baptism records dating 1921-1969, have been captured and made available online, free to the public. Earlier marriage records, dating from 1812 at the Colonial Chapel at the Castle have yet to be transcribed. This is part of an agreement between Ancestry24 and the Anglican Church Archives at Wits University where marriage and baptism records of some of South Africa’s oldest churches are being accurately captured and published at www.ancestry24.co.za.
