A project involving the family research of the Anderson (1810), Morgan (1738), Holmes (1810), Wedderburn (1775), Cawood (1775), Spoor (1800), Dunbar (938) and Sinclair (1790) families of Scotland, Wales, England and South Africa. 

The project was started by Estelle Wedderburn on the Wedderburns in the 1960�s, Aimee & Allen Cawood on the Cawoods in the 1970�s, Audrey Johnston (n�e Morgan) on the Morgans in the 1970�s and Pamela Anderson on the Spoors and Andersons in the 1980�s. Many of these projects were already very advanced and detailed. 

In 1987 Mark Anderson took over a section of the project. His goal was to recreate and add to the Morgan Family Bible that went missing after the death of Frank van de Riet in Onrust in the 1980�s, and add in the other family lines.  In 1998 Sheila Paterson, a Genealogist of Cape Town, kindly became involved. With her expert assistance,  as well as that of overseas and South African cousins, county and central record offices, family history societies, researchers, internet search and enquiry, and overseas libraries. The object of the Family History publication is to accurately show the direct lineal ancestors of the families.

 -          a family tree (direct line only) with dates of  birth, marriage and death (where available)
