Who and what is GISA?
The Genealogical Institute of South Africa (GISA) was established to collect and preserve genealogical source material in a scientific manner and conduct genealogical research with a view to render a service and publish genealogies and family histories of all South African families. GISA is registered with the SARS as a non-taxable institution.
Affiliation of GISA to the GSU (Genealogical Society of Utah)
GISA became an affiliated member of the GSU on 1 October 2006. This means that the records which are available on microfilm at the GSU can be ordered by GISA, in the same way that films are presently ordered from the Family History Centres. The affiliation gives researchers at GISA access to a large number of sources, within South Africa as well as abroad.
e-Shop
Apart from its new appearance this website has been equipped with a long-awaited e-shop facility where publications produced and/or distributed by the Institute can directly and electronically be ordered. An affirmative invoice will be dispatched automatically with the total costs involved. As soon as the deposit has been received, the goods will be forwarded to the postal address provided.
