South Africa / Re: Boer War - South African Constabulary?

I had absolutely zero help from the national archives main office but once I got through to the local officer at Bloemfontein they were really helpful, as long as I had the reference numbers. At no time did I use a local researcher, but I was lucky enough to have the reference numbers.

South Africa / Re: Boer War - South African Constabulary?

I was researching some cousins who both joined the SAC. The South African Constabulary records being available at the National Archives of South Africa held within the Free State Archives Repository in Bloemfontein, (www.national.archives.gov.za)  I decided to try and obtain the records and  I logged into the website for the Free State Provincial Archives and found them very easy to navigate (thankfully). I found the appropriate reference numbers and used the contact us page to enquire about an estimate for copies. There were a few emails back and forth to Donald van Wyk fsarch@sacr.fs.gov.za I paid for the copies and very quickly I received a very substantial package through the post with the service records.
Hope this helps
