You could try and send a personal message to Graham (Grm001)

Hello Yaelli, did you ever find out what happened to the records and where they are currently kept of the florence nightingale nursing home in johannesburg.
I would also like to extract some very impotant info. Was Graham ever able to help.

Many thanks,

Paul

Yaeli, hi, I saw you maybe responded to my post, but it only quoted my original post. Did you happen to have the info on what happened to the records of the Florence Nightingale Nursing Home?

Many thanks

Paul

Hi Linda,

I have spoken to a friend of mine who is a nurse that trained at the Florence Nightingale Nursing Home. She has confirmed that the Nursing Home closed down in the late 1970's and was converted into a block of flats (apartments). We are going to try to find out what happened to their records and I will let you know. Perhaps you could let us have the name of your Great Uncle and we could see what we can find for you.

Regards

Graeme.

Hi Graeme,

I was wondering if I too could ask you for your help on the Florence Nightingale records? I was born there February 1970, but had further treatment, the details (doctors, etc.) for which I am quite urgently trying to glean. So, perhaps safer to go for the entire February to possibly June - or the entire 1970. I don't when my parents brought me back there and can no longer ask them.

Would like to send you a private message, but am assuming this is not possible for new members.


Thank you - I would really appreciate it!!

Best
Mark

Hi Mark

Welcome to Rootschat  ;D

You could try sending Graeme a personal message but he hasn't been online here since 2010.

He won't receive an email notification that you have posted because he hasn't been online after the previous messages posted in 2011 and 2013 and his notificsations are set to 'instantly but only for the first reply'.

Hi Dawn,

Thanks for your helpful reply!

I've sent him a PM now, but as you say, looks doubtful in the context.

Hm, well. What a pity.

Thanks again.

Mark

I would also like info about the records of the Florence Nightingale Nursing home. I was told that I was born there in 1948 but somehow Germiston was always mentioned? Maybe Germiston was considered a suburb of Johannesburg way back then?
