Thanks for letting us know about this, Mike. Wish you luck with your work on this ongoing project. You might want to send Kyle Joustra in Australia an e-mail, he's an avid genealogist focussing on the descendants of Dutch and other European settlers in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and has recently discovered a Northway connection with his family. Kyle (who just became a father of a baby girl)is at [email protected] - also do let me know directly at [email protected] if you would like some contact with a friend of mine in Colombo, Sri Lanka who has personal knowledge of the Northway family which was prominently involved in tea planting there in the later 1800s onwards. In Edwin's materials you should find a copy of a couple of pages I mailed him just before his death, from a 1992 Sri Lanka historical book that includes very interesting Northway family information. Edwin was just beginning to gather material on the Ceylon branch of the Northways when he died. Kind regards, Joe Simpson (BC, Canada)
