Thanks for this information, it's good news, do you know if it will be user pay and any idea of the results format.

I'll second the free request.  I have a specific relative I am trying to trace in SA and apparently there are several people in SA with the same name, so I don't want to be paying to look at the wrong person.

Several of us can help with SA BMDs & other resources.

I have previously posted a thread re this particular relative, and that is how I found out there are several with the same name.  Without being able to afford certificates or paid lookups it is hard to determine the correct one to follow.

If you post the link to the previous thread we can go over the information again.
New eyes sometimes find missing links  :)
