	Does anyone have any tips in trying to trace a relli who went out to the Gold Mines in South Africa during the 1920's/30's? I have no personal information except for his name & date of birth, I've been told he was married & had 3 children. When he went he only came home the once around 1957 for a family reunion. Haven't got a clue where to start any ideas anyone?
