In addition to the microfilmed material, there is a hard copy of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies 1924-1929 Monthly Immigration Registers. The registers are to be found in three sections, 1924-1926, 1927, 1928-1929. Note: The registers can also now be found at YIVO in New York.
They contain information organized by ship and date for incoming passengers to the Cape Province. Included in the registers are the name of the passenger, gender, age, town and country of origin, name of the person and/or company the passenger is going to and their address, and passenger's occupation.
