Welcome to OldSouthAfricanFamilies.com — your comprehensive genealogy resource. Our mission is to give you the facts you need about South African Genealogy — fast — so you can get on the road to taking action right away`.

As the family tree grows it is more and more difficult to do a website that shows everything you want to show. In the Descendent format, the presentation shows the descendents of the patriarch or matriarch of a family.  This presentation cuts off other branches of the family we prefer the Ancestor format. Below is a screen shot of how the ancestor view looks. The Selected individual is there in the middle with his parents and grand parents. You can go further back by following the arrows upward. If there are no arrows, that is as far as your family tree goes. You do this by clicking on a box or arrow.

In the Family Links Box on the right are listed spouses and children of the selected individual. So you can follow the descendant line by clicking on one of those names. If you get lost, go back to the name index and choose an individual that you know, and off you go again.
