Are there any South African members on this group?

We do have a couple of people who are from South Africa. They would like to work on the South African place data. Did you want to volunteer to work on a South African project?

I started a small work group to work on standardizing and correcting South African Place names. Members who want to work with me could contact me by email @ willerix@gmail.com or via Facebook messenger. Please supply a short resume wrt your South African genealogy experience. We have Facegroup groups with >30k members. Thank you for supporting me.

Hallo Willie
Recently I volunteered to help out on this site. I am still learning my way around, but it is good that you have started a group.
I have done indexing and arbitration input for FamilySearch for about 8 years and have done input way more than 80,000 records. I am familiar with some place names that have changed from the 1800s to late in the 1900s and find it very interesting to look up all the information. It will be a pleasure to help as much as I can.
My husband and I have immigrated to New Zealand in 2000 and live here ever since. As you know the place names in SA have changed again and I am honest to say I am not familiar with all the new names and places.
Looking to hearing from you soon.
Regards
Hester Wolmarans

Yes I would like to make contact with them. I am busy collecting people to work in a South African Place Name Standardisation Project. The place name data base for South Africa is in a mess.
