This is a massive research project to identify the emigrants who came to natal before from Britain before 1858, and to collect biographical material on them and their children. Although the work focuses on emigrants who came to settle in Natal, its interest and usefulness are not confined to this region. Some of the new Natalians, and many of the next generation, moved on to the inland republics, to the CApe Colony or Australia. Each entry contains biographical information and lists of the settler's children as well as lists of sources. 280 x 210 mm. SOUTH AFRICA. UNIVERSITY OF NATAL PRESS, 0869802674
