The database has had an upgrade and includes new functionality. For example, where causes of death are available you can now see them in the death information and photos will be added regularly.

If you click on the link to the database, it will redirect you to the site where I host this. This database contains my van Rooyen (and other) research, which is ongoing, so please check back regularly. If you use links to save the data it could be problematic as I normally overwrite the entire database. Often people are merged and relationships changed as information becomes available, so please rather use the search function to find what you are looking for. The database is updated roughly monthly.
