I am trying to find out where i can find information on my great grandfather in the 2nd boer war. I understand that he changed his name and then admited his real name. where do i start with this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Vikki
Lots of sites to choose from ....FMP and Ancestry are good ones to start you off on your search
Good luck
Mau
