Hello from Namibia

[Pam Miller]

Hi
I have been following my family since they left the UK in 1820 but cannot get much further back, in fact can't find anything!
Internet is helping but still nothing concrete although I do have dates, places of birth but no sight of a baptism!
John Miller born Wanborough near Swindon in August 1790, and his older brother William Miller born Berwick upon Tweed,Northumberland, May 1779. Both immigrated to South Africa in 1820 as Baptists from the York St Chapel.
looking forward to learning more through this site

Welcome to Top Dog Pam. Do have a look around and when you're ready, post a query in an appropriate forum...if you can't work out which one, just post in General Family History Queries and one of the mods will move it for you.

It may be a bit quiet for a day or two while Christmas is in full swing but more people are sure to be back quite soon.
