Hi Celia, you could Google the South African High Commission in London; and through their site, seek advice. Or, contact the South African 'Salvation Army' - the 'Sally-Ann' often find missing relatives; or at least give good advice as how to proceed. They've successfully helped me trace people in Australia, in the days before the internet; so it's probably easier now.

Celia have you thought of asking Dave Bath as he resides there and I am sure would be only too glad to be of assistance?. Jean.
