About This Item
(Cape Town: Chameleon Press, 1987) 0620109408. Small 4to; pictorial boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 152; map; liberally illustrated with contemporary artwork and facsimiles. A little shelf-rubbed; trace of foxing to edges, occasional fox spot elsewhere; light tape marks to boards and reverse of dustwrapper. Very good condition. "M D Nash has produced a completely new list of these original 1820 settlers, working from various primary sources including material previously unavailable locally - the files of the Public Record Office in London. Most importantly, she has arranged the list - after a general index of names - party by party, with a detailed account of each party's formation and peculiarities. In addition, further reading is indicated wherever possible. The result is a book that will be an invaluable aid to the researcher and to the settler descendant wishing to explore his ancestral origins. The final chapter, 'Tracing your settler roots', tells you clearly how to go about compiling your own family tree, with helpful, practical advice on conducting the necessary research: which archives or institutions to approach, how to arrange your information sensibly, and even which short cuts you may profitably use." .
