Hi Deidre,

Most, if not all, of the books you listed are held by GISA. Unfortunately
for you, they are in Stellenbosch, but they have a huge range of books on
all matters relating to Genealogy. It might be worth phoning them and asking
them if they have books dealing with a specific surname you are after. Their
number is (021) 887-5070

Of much more immediate use to you, might be to go and visit the University
libraries in your area. I know that the Stellenbosch University Library has
quite a collection of these books. One might then take out a special yearly
membership (as a non student or old student) and arrange for some
interlibrary loan to be done.

Regards
