Cape Town Orphan Chamber inventories

[Kinsy]

Does anyone know where these have been moved to ?
They used to be at databases.tanap.net - but apparently the tanap.net domain has expired.
I had a look on the Netherlands Archives website under VOC, but I can't find them there.

is the eggsa site any good?

I had a look at that page earlier, but they don't seem to have the database of inventory transcriptions that were on tanap.net

[Kinsy]

There is a list of the inventories on eggsa https://www.eggsa.org/sarecords/index.php/orphan-chamber/411-acte-van-bewijs which gives the year and name of the testator & spouse, but no transcriptions.

I've just checked the list of inventories on eggsa and see that they are the MOOC 12 series - whereas the transcriptions on tanap were MOOC 8, of which many were much earlier than 1731.

By coincidence I'd just been playing with the MOOC's:

The "Tanap" links seemed to have been available for:
MOOC 8 - Inventories and Appraisals
MOOC 10 - Auction lists

I believe MOOC 8 doco might be be here:

Yes, those do seem to be the originals, Tree Spirit - thanks.
Such beautiful documents - but it's quite difficult to find the one you want, or even to read them 
And paging through them has made me realise what an incredible amount of work went into the Tanap transcriptions !! 
It would be a real shame if that wonderful database was no longer available.

Cornel has created an index on his website http://southafrica.mypeoplepuzzle.net/SearchIndex/MOOC_Index.html, unfortunately the links were for Tanap but at least you can get the reference no

That's useful - thanks, Gillian.
