Join us in welcoming Mole’s Genealogy Blog to the GeneaBloggersTRIBE membership roll. I am thrilled to be welcoming this blog which I have enjoyed reading for several years.
Rosemary Dixon-Smith from South Africa started the Mole’s Genealogy Blog back in January 2010. One of the few genealogy blogs coming out of South Africa, this blog provides tips and stories about researching South African genealogy and includes a very useful Beginners Guide. Many of the posts have an immigration theme and some include Passenger Lists of shipping into South Africa.
Some useful posts for those of us who have family members who emigrated to South Africa are:
- Hiring a researcher in South Africa
- File types useful in SA family history research
- Deceased Estate files in SA family history research
Rosemary has been active in research in the Durban and Kwazulu Natal area for many years. Her Great Grandfather Thomas Gadsden, was Durban’s lighthouse keeper in the 1870s and 1880s.

Thank you for including Mole’s Genealogy Blog in the Blogiversary page and Jill (GeniAus) thanks for your kind comments. Please note that you can follow me on Twitter and that I’ve been posting Natal passenger lists recently – always a favourite topic. Best Wishes, Mole.
Some new stand-alone ‘Pages’ have recently been added to Mole’s Genealogy Blog: St Helena ancestry and research, and Log of a voyage to Natal in 1853. Currently I am uploading information and photographs about early Natal photographers including the Kisch and Caney families. More photographic families and studios to follow.
