Preserving Our Story: Facebook Posts Now on Our Website

Access to the Facebook Archive

We’re excited to announce that we are now archiving all of our Facebook posts right here on the website! This initiative ensures that the incredible work our volunteer publishers have shared over the years is preserved, celebrated, and always accessible.

From heartfelt stories to community milestones, every post reflects the passion and dedication of our volunteers. By bringing this content onto the website, we’re not only safeguarding our history but also making it easier for everyone to revisit and appreciate the journey we’ve taken together.

Thank you to all our volunteer publishers—your contributions continue to inspire and connect us.

For many years, there have been people who, for various reasons, could not join a regular GSSA branch. Some of these reasons include living too far from a branch or living outside South Africa. These people still have a need to belong to a branch and to enjoy the benefits of GSSA membership, such as receiving GSSA's journal, Familia. eGSSA has been established to meet these needs. This is an ideal opportunity to become part of GSSA and to step into this exciting era.

At eGSSA we have an Online shop where you can buy the various publications of the Genealogical Society of South Africa, as well as a number of other genealogical, historical and cultural items.

There are indexes to the articles in Familia, the quarterly journal of the GSSA and those in genesis, journal of eGGSA itself. In addition we have a downloadable archive document section, as well as photographs of graves in South African cemeteries.
