My name is Carol Martens
and I started this site. This site was created using MyHeritage.com. This is a great system that allows anyone like you and me to create a private site for their family, build their family tree and share family photos. If you have any comments or feedback about this site, please click here to contact me. Our family tree is posted online on this site! There are 1472 names in our family site. The earliest event is the birth of <Private> (849). The most recent event is the death of Pamela Norah Forbes Harty (Mar 17 2012). The site was last updated on May 29 2012, and it currently has 126 registered member(s). If you wish to become a member too, please click here. Enjoy! hi family one and all - please tell me if you do not want your pics or details on the tree as apparently on other trees people are sensitive about this so please tell me if you are unhappy about anything as i do not want to tread on any toes. I will not add education details or anything of that nature.This is a family project and everyones wishes will be carried out exactly. I am very exited to get to know the past and present generations and especially to see the ancestors come to life with a picture of them- so please feel free to add any old or recent pics you would like to share.

The church at Salem is the oldest Methodist church in South Africa. The original church at Salem was built in December 1822, but this was demolished ten years after erection, to make way for a more solid edifice.
Just across the road from the church is the oldest cricket pitch in South Africa that is still in use.
The first wedding to take place in the Salem church (and the first Methodist wedding on South Africa) was between Benjamin Jonathan Rudman and Juliana Slater. The marriage was witnessed by James Hancock.
Hi family one and all - thank you so much for those who are doing their little bit - each puzzle helps and photos and biographies of those you know would be great. You should be able to add biolgraphies or links if on the internet but shout if you need help. To see a persons profile click on their profile then scroll down past their family members and any autobiography that i have added should be there - please tell me if you cannot see this section. Oupa rudman is particularily interesting for those family members as its got a list of all the books her wrote - amazing man he was!
