[JulesNZ]

Im trying to help a friend with her family tree, and I cant get started, as unable to find any information on any of them. I have:
Henry Wouterson Brown born 1872 Jacobsdal married Gertrude Scott in Kemberley 1915. Henry's father was James McClurie Brown born Glasgow married Josena De Villiers at Mooi River.
Can anyone help me get started

Have a look at Sue's sticky message at the top of this forum. That should help make a start.
Also the web page of the Genealogical a Society of South Africa.
