Searching South Africa records
I have some South Africa records which I can access, but which do not show up in Search Records.
For example, see Ronald Louw's marriage in 1937. If I search for this record I get "No Results Found".
How can I search for these records in future please?

I searched for a marriage in South Africa, in 1937, for Ronald Louw, from the main search page: https://www.familysearch.org/search/
The results page, without further filtering, exact not specified, has 411 results, and the first record displayed is the 1937 marriage of Ronald Clifford Louw.

@RobinWilson27, I'm sorry that you're have problems searching the historical records. I wonder if you could provide some more details. If possible, please provide the URL for your Search of Ronald Louw's marriage.
I was able to find the marriage, but I used a very simple search. You can see it here:
So, please show me what you used for your search; then I can see if there is a problem somewhere.

Thanks. I searched from his Wikitree profile page using a Chrome app called Sourcer.
Here are the results:
The URL is:
So am I using the wrong set of filters?
Here's another set of filters (Marriage only):
URL was:
Why is the URL specifying things like Cape Town (Location is blank in my form)?

Thanks - that worked for me too:
So there must be filters in place (from the Sourcer app) which are stopping the wanted result.
Can anyone pinpoint the likely one(s)?
I could run some tests, comparing the search URLs.

I would suggest you touch base with the creator of the Sourcer extension. There is a "contact the developer" link on the Sourcer page in the Chrome Web Store.
