The citation as it was given
COPYRIGHT - READ BEFORE USING. eGGSA state plainly: "No person may copy, download or replicate the information, data or photographs contained herein for commercial gain OR TO ADD TO ANY OTHER WEBSITE DATABASE." Limited personal use is allowed only with full credit to the copyright holder. Copyright sits with the individual photographers and contributors, with further rights held by eGGSA and the GSSA. SO WE MAY NOT REPUBLISH THEIR IMAGES ON THIS SITE. What we may and should do: cite the item, LINK OUT to it, transcribe the inscription (facts are not copyright), and record the location. Any photograph WE take ourselves is ours to publish - as with IMG-0001, the Beukes stone on Varsfontein. The old Gallery2 library at eggsa.org/library redirects in a loop and would not render for me; the collection has moved to graves.eggsa.org, organised by province then cemetery.
Kept verbatim. This project contradicts published genealogies and corrects a family's own oral tradition, so every claim has to be checkable by someone who was not in the room.
