Rolanda Helena Godfrey

Please advise where I can find the baptismal record for Lambertus Gerthardus Philippus Ferreira, born in Willowmore, Cape Province roughly in 1903/1904. There are a couple of records, but none match the name exactly.

Thank you.

There is a excellent Facebook group of FamilySearch users. Ask your question there.

There are some South African links on this page that might also aid you in your research. You might look at death records as a way to be able to sort though which records are correct.

Thank you everyone for your feedback. I have joined various SA groups and have asked for help, but without any success to date.

This is the link that I can see on line, and would like to know if there's someone in the FS main library that could do a quick search of the link below for this record of

LAMBERTUS GERTHARDUS PHILIPPUS FERREIRA

BORN IN WILLOWMORE, CAPE PROVINCE, SOUTH AFRICA EITHER IN 1903 OR 1904

Below is a record of his marriage:

I would really need to have a record of his baptism, so that I could confirm who his parents are.

Really appreciate any help with this.

Many thanks & kind Regards

Landa
