Hello, I am new here! I am researching my wife's ancestors in Ceylon; these families were well established in Ceylon, for at least 3 generations. Any information about them (dates, tombstones, etc) and also about Oonoongalla, Madulkelle (Mathew Henry Thomas, my wife's gr.gr. father) was Justice of peace there) and the Ghaleeria Estate (or Galheriya) in Kelebokke Valley would be very welcome! Many thanks for your help, Jean Ferran. P.S. my genealogy website: http://ochanoff.741.com/genealogy.htm

Hello, Has anyone heard of the 'Gaventenne Estate' in Madulkelle, Ceylon? My ggUncle was there for 15 years before coming to New Zealand c1900. John A.W. DICKSON was born Scotland, died New Zealand 1914 aged 61 years. His home in NZ was also named 'Gaventenne'.
