Thanks for that Rade Yes, I was aware of one Josiah/Jacob EEET who SA died 1898, but did not know when he had come to Australia. I haven't been able to establish any connection with our family although the use of Josiah/Jacob would seem to fit in with the biblican name theme e.g. Isaac, who also had a brother named David and a son named Jacob. In the IGI index there are more derivations of the name - mostly appearing in the 1600's - names such as EETTE, EATTE, EATTA, EEET. At this stage my research goes back to an EAT marriage in 1740, but during the 1700-1800's there was also a lot of use of the name EATE. I have also discovered a bishop in the 6th Century named EATA. I do find these derivations so interesting and so frustrating !! My own family name (Fricker) has 23 derivations that I know of!! Thanks for your interest Josephine Eatts

Hi Josephine & list, Here is another spelling FYI. I remember seeing Josiah/Jacob's shipping arrival in SA with this spelling and could not believe it, so I checked deaths and there he possibly was with same surname spelling. I was looking for someone else at the time and do not have any further info of this name. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~dicummings/Images/Ships/1848Constance.htm Surname: EEET Given Names: Jacob Date: 1898-01-01 Age: 76y Death Place: Adelaide Rade

It is worth a try and a good idea as some connections might be made. Hope someone has some luck!
