Member Since: February 2007 Posts: 6 Send Message	I'm trying to find out some more information on my great grandmother. She moved to Kenya in about 1913 with her husband who worked for The East African Standard in Nairobi. Her husband died in 1920 and she remarried in around 1921 to a farmer. She moved to Graaf Reinet in South Africa sometime in the late 1920s. I would really like some background on what it was like in Kenya and South Africa during that period, as well as some suggestions for how I could find out where the farm in Kenya was, what they farmed etc. Any suggestions gratefully received!
