Finding these British era records in Holland, was the jewel in the crown of a round the world research trip that took in 1. LDS records and Library in Salt Lake City. 2. The Dutch Archives and Genealogy library in The Hague. 3. The India Office Records, British Library, Newspaper Library, National Archives, and the Society of Genealogists library in England 4. St Stephen's Church, Negombo, and numerous other derelict churches and desecrated cemeteries on the west coast of Sri Lanka. The English/Dutch records showed 2 entries for Anderson, which is our primary research target. One record is directly connected to our family... Captain James Thomas Anderson and Adriana Gertruijda Toussaint. The record is in Dutch, but the following information is clearly decipherable. the child James Robbert ) born 1 month son of James Thomas Anderson and Adriana Gertruijda Toussaint Godparents John Frederick Toussaint , Bernard Hendrik Toussaint, Elisabeth Robertino vander Sprinkel and .........Willemsz Jaffanapatnam Sun 22nd March 1810 Minister signature. J B Palm There was a report of 4 daughters and 2 sons in the Anderson family in Lewis's book, but DBU records only ever showed 1 son. The second Anderson record is for Sophia, daughter of Jame and Susanna Anderson born 2nd Nov 1806. God parents John Prior and Mary Edwards Minister signature ... Cadenski. Trincomale..10 Nov 1806 The records seem to be in a church circuit book which has entries for Jaffna and Trincomale only 1806 records 2 Meeawald 1 Trip 1 Anderson 1807 1 Gilbert 1810 1 Anderson 1814 1 von Conrady 1 Wiltig 1de Silva 1 Stomp 1 van den Driesen 1 Aldons We are willing to do lookups and share information with fellow researchers, and will post further names to the list each week.

Friends/Colleagues: I'm looking for any help in learning more about R.R. Belleth, a sergeant in the Ceylon Police in the 1950s. I've checked out the meagre resources I have, (a few post-war Ferguson's Directories) and all I've been able to find is a "B. Belleth", listed as a retired member of the Ceylon Civil Service, (and most probably a distinguished one, since he is also listed as having been awarded the Imperial Service Order). Perhaps "B." is the father (or uncle?) of the chappie I'm interested in -- "R.R." ? Am I correct in assuming Belleth is a Burger name? Any thoughts or leads greatly appreciated. Cheers, Glen, In Our Dominion of the North

There are references to Beliatte in "A History of the Ceylon Police" Vol. 11 1866-1913 (pages 461 and 470) by A. C. Dep. Possibly the same person.
