I  have researched my Sproat family from Borgue/ Kirkcudbright, Scotland, for 10+ years.  I have heard of some of the family going to to S. Africa.  The reason was for the Boar War in 1901.  I would like to help you if still interested.  These specific adresses are great to have, are there any relatives you know of left in S. Africa? ???
