Hi Tara,
I noticed that your family came from Kenhardt in the Karoo. Do you know
of any books dealing with the Karoo life, I would be interested to be
informed. My family came from Carnarvon and Williston area. One can
only admire these folks who made a living out in these barren areas.

Have you had a look at the book by Lawrence Green Karoo.

Best wishes with your research.
Andre
