This page is dedicated to understand and access the Church of the Province of South Africa, or more commonly known as the Anglican Church Records that have been published by familysearch.org. There are three main types of records:
- baptism records;
- marriage records; and
- burial records.
These are organised firsly by diocese, then the town in which the church is located and lastly by the name of the Parish. These are:
The existing challenge with work through the various parish records are that they are not indexed in an easily consumable manner. The Latterday Saints records can be found here.
The is also a really good article that describes the start of the Anglican Church in South Africa that can be found here.
The University of the Witwatersrand also created an excellent resource that lists the details of the parishes and the online records which is available here.
What I am aiming to assist with in my page, is to make the records even more accessible by listing the parishes by diocese in the year they were formed and secondly by the town in which they reside.
