In April I went on a train safari in Namibia and South Africa. One of
the stops was at Upington in SA. Right next to the railway station was
a cemetery and I noticed that there was a Jewish section. As we had a
couple of hours before the train went I copied information from the
gravestones (not the Hebrew as I didn't have time and my Hebrew isn't
good enough). I did all the graves (there were about 80) and the
results are in the attached Excel file in the format I believe you
require for the burial registry. I am also attaching two general
pictures I took of the graveyard which seemed to be well tended.
