Thank you for your assistance. However, I could not find relatives. My grandfather had two sisters, Paolina and Rita, so I think they married and changed surnames. I do have an adress on the back of an envelope. I think I will use the letter and try my luck.

Thanks once again.

It was a war against the english and boere. I know it is pronounce by the english as boar. I searched boar war, but can't find anything. If you want to know more about the Anglo Boere war you can just google it, there is alot of information.

But I'm not aware of predominant Italians in that war.

Nice, I'm also from South Africa and also new. My grandfather, Francesco Basile, came here in WWII. Looking for family in Alberobello, Province of Bari.

Aren't you refering to the Anglo Boere war? I live in South Africa and that is the war that we had here. However, I know the war was only declared in 1899. My grandfather, Francesco Basile came here in WWII.
