A commercial subscription

Ancestor.co.za

A South African commercial document-retrieval service. It takes a request for a named estate or death notice, retrieves it from the archives and uploads a scan to the requester's account on its own site. Observed charging 70 ZAR per death notice in December 2023, with a stated turnaround of up to 21 days, and notifying by email on upload. It is a RETRIEVAL AGENT rather than an index: there is no public catalogue to search, so it answers a reference you already have and cannot tell you whether one exists. Added from the Booyzen archive, which found two of its own death notices delivered this way in January 2024 and never ingested.

This map knows Ancestor.co.za covers ZA, but nobody has walked its catalogue into the shelf. That is a gap in this map, not a gap in the record. Help fill it →
