Hallo Petrus

Die Kambeb waarvan jy gelees het was toe 'n skryffout en moet Karibib lees.
Ek het die navraag opgevolg en selfs 'n geboortesertifikaat aangevra maar
Dit was sonder sukses.
Groete
Marie van der Merwe in Swakopmund

Hi Petrus,
We lived at Rehoboth form some years early 1930s. the railway line was 8
miles from the town. There are some wonderful photos of the area (and of all

SWA) in
http://www.klausdierks.com/
Other maps at http://www.multimaps.com/index/WA27.htm
which you already have I guess from your message.
