We have a growing selection of Databases for both Free and Paid Members at Ancestors South Africa and over time these sections will increase.
Our free section is databases that have been donated for free individual and private usage and we welcome any genealogy-related databases to add to the FREE Members section. If you have any databases that are your own copy-write and wish to host them with me, please feel free to contact me.
The Subscriber section is for PAID members only. These databases have taken considerable time to digitize and to make them available in a searchable format and this also covers the costs of web development, website hosting and web upgrading costs.
