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. -
