National Archives in Cape Town request of copy of death cert

[karee.bell]

Hello, was hoping some one would be kind enough to help my friend out with obtaining the following from the National Archives in Cape Town?
We live in New Zealand so its a bit of a challenge for us. Would be willing to try and get some photos of graves in south auckland new zealand for others tho.

Hi there

Here is the contact info for the Cape Archives:

I have found them to be extremely helpful in the past with queries and had prompt replies to my e-mails.  Perhaps try to e-mail them and ask how or if overseas ordering of files is possible.  Copy and paste the info so they know exactly what you want.  If they can help be sure and tell them what info you want out of the file as some estate files can run into many pages.


Good luck
