Introduction
The Haidee Settlers migrated in 1850 from the East Riding area of York, England aboard the ship, Haidee, and settled in a township, which they also named York near New Hanover in the Natal midlands. The group was somewhat unique because most of the 246 people knew each other and worked together, initially, to set themselves up.
Purpose
The purpose of this project is to engage as many of the descendants of the Haidee Settlers to build their respective family trees in Geni. In time, this introductory page may be extended to present a summary of the information contained in the respective family trees, but for the moment, focus should be on simply establishing identifying and establishing the original immigrants.
Contribution
Anyone can contribute to this project if the are descendants of one of the Haidee Settlers or have a special interest in the project. In order to keep the site in a reasonable state of order, please only add profiles that were actually on the ship. The following list may be incomplete as it appears to contain only the head of each family in most cases.
Help and Assistance
If you need some help or explanation on how to do things, please do not hesitate to contact Peter Kearney through Geni.
Acknowledgments
The image of the Haidee and the following names were obtained from Pat Smith, who has very kingly permitted the use of both for this project. You can find Pat's sites at:
