I have been told by a contact that one of my ancestors was a high comissioner in South Africa and that he worked for the British government. Any tips as to where I can start looking for nfo please?

Hi Linda,if you go to the National Archives of South Africa there might be something there. If you add a name in the box if there is anything it will pop up any documents about them. Also you could try Ancestry24.co.za I find it extremely helpful for my S A research. Good luck Kate.
