Listers we have a complete copy of the 1843 General Directory of European Residents, Principal Public servants and Inhabitants, Generally, of Respectable Standing:--- including the Secretaries and Principal Clerks in the Various Public and Private Offices. A SAMPLE OF ENTRIES FOLLOWS. THERE ARE 18 very clear A4 Pages. NAME EMPLOYMENT OR FIRM PLACE OF ABODE POST TOWN Anderson J. T. Proctor Jaffna Jaffna Kriekenbeek C. A. Assistant Col. Surgeon Borella Colombo Leembruggen H. Survey Dept Colombo Colombo Le Mesurier A. J. Planter Alice Holt Pusilawa Toussaint W. Inspector of Police Kandy Kandy Vandort H. Hd Clerk C. Med Office Hill Street Colombo Although this Directory does not have a direct influence on Primary research (BMD), the list is a window of some families in Ceylon in1843, and we would like it to be seen for free,on the internet. As we are grey, wrinkled techno novices, could someone please help us, as was done with the Kandy pictures? We have a Gmail Ac which we have never used and have other goodies from our research that we would like to put up for listers to refer to at will. In anticipation Coreen& Larry.

Hi Larry, Hi Coreen, Two things of interest to me here ;-) 1) H Leembruggen, Survey Department 2) Kandy Pics? I would really love to know more about those and where I can see them,if available online. My dad was born in Kandy and I would love to see any photos, especially of less recent vintage ;-) thanks for all your tips and hard work for us listers!
