Berry Families of South Africa

Project Tags

About this project

This project is designed to place all the Berry families in South Africa together to see under which progenitor they belong and to collect research information, discussions, and queries etc.

(information below is just a summery. For more details, "Click" on the name to open his profile.)

1. Thomas Berry (c.1798-?)

2. William Berry (c.1793 - 1833)

3. James Berry (c.1805 - ?)

4. John James Berry (c.1780 - 1859)

How to Participate

If you have an ancestor who was a Berry

  1. Get yourself added as a collaborator
  2. Navigate to your ancestor's profile
  3. Under the "More Actions" link choose "Add to Project"
  4. Select the Berry project

How to add a link is explained in the attached document - Adding links to Geni profiles to projects.

Optional:

  • Include in the "About Me" section of each person a brief biographical sketch of their lives. Also include their Settler party and ship name and arrival date if known
  • Include a photograph/painting of your ancestor if one exists.
  • Your ancestor's profiles should be marked as "public" and not "private".
  • All included profiles should include full identifying information including birth and death dates as well as birth and death locations. It would also be very helpful if the immediate family of your pioneer ancestor, (their parents, siblings and children) profiles were public profiles also.
  • Do not make public any profiles of living people. NOTE: All Berrys included on this project will have their profiles editable by other geni.com collaborators of this project. The object of reproducing the list here is to see if these people can be located on Geni and perhaps develop trees from them. To take part in any project - you do need to first be a collaborator - so join the project. See the discussion Project Help: How to add Text to a Project - Starter Kit to get you going!
