Title: Finding a Death Notice not on the NAAIRS index
Post by: Sunflower16 on Wednesday 11 July 18 22:09 BST (UK)

Unfortunately the NAAIRS index is not complete.......and one of the Death Notices I need in order to apply for WW2 service records in the UK, is one of them.   I do have the full date and place of death, birth date etc, death was in Johannesburg in 1974 so assume it will be TAB - but EGGSA will only get copies if a full index reference is given.  Is a professional researcher the best way forward?  I assume it will be expensive though :(

Is the record you want in Johannesburg and are you in South Africa? I have a researcher in Pretoria who may be able to help you.
