Wewege, East London
« on: Saturday 11 April 09 15:41 BST (UK) »
Hi there

I am wanting to find out who the parents of my grandfather and grandmother were.  My grandfather was Sidney Wewege born 1914 in East London.  My gran was Olive Charlotte Johanneson born 1916 East London,  I have tried to use Ancestry 24 but no such luck as neither of them appear there.

Please could you Help.

Dee

Yip, He is my grandfather.  He died in 1971 this was before i was born and my father did not speak about his parents so i have no idea about their parents or if they all originated from East London SA.

Having Googled "Wewege" I didn't think there would be that many!!!....I can't even find a data base on Ancestry for S A,or am I missing something...
