The Latham-Diary

Read here about the diary of Jane Latham (nee Dixon), daughter of one of my forebears, Benjamin Dixon, my mother, Dinah Dixon's great-great-grandfather - she was thus the 5th generation. The diary is about their "great trek" to Walvisbay in Southwest-Africa (Namibia). Their trek with ox wagons took place between 1843 and 1844. Roaming between Walvisbay and the Cape continued until about 1861. What a wonderful privilege to know what happened in the lives of my forebears, 170 years ago!

Ek het reeds die Dixon stamboom, en relevante inligting, van my tannie, Kittie Farber, ontvang. Hierdie stamboom is verkry van Mev. Ledivia Van Vuuren, wat intensiewe navorsing daaroor gedoen het. Voodat ek hierdie stamboom publiseer wil ek eers toestemming vra by laasgenoemde. Hou dus hierdie inskrywing dop. Ek behoort eersdaags daaroor te rapporteer.
