Hello Craig

I read the old drifter book over the weekend - no Hampshires, sorry. I will post
the names I did find somewhere one of these days soon

I did find a photo of a shop in another book - might have been a butcher's shop,
but whatever it was it didn't mention Hampshire. It may have previously been
owned by Hampshire if your story is true. See my bloggy thing (more like an
online notepad really). I'll add the names from the old drifter book there too,
probably over the holidays

Happy Christmas!

See if you can get hold of a book called "Pioneers of Rhodesia" by E.C.
Tabler.

At the time you mention there was no place called "Rhodesia". There were
territories called Mashonaland and Mataberleland. The latter was ruled by
Lobengula, and he also claimed to rule large parts of Mashonaland, though it
was a somewhat dubious claim.

Tabler's book tries to give information about all the adult male foreigners
known to have visited the area before it became known as Rhodesia, so it
might make mention of your great grandfather if he was there.

I'm crossposting this to the African genealogy list as well.

In response to a recent query on the South Africa list about someone recorded
in the 1911 UK census as having been born in "Rhodesia" in the 1880s, I
reccomended E.C. Tabler's book "Pioneers of Rhodesia"

Here is more information about it:

Tabler, Edward C. 1966. Pioneers of Rhodesia. Cape Town: Struik.
                    Biographies of adult male foreigners who
                    visited Zimbabwe before the establishment of
                    company rule in the 1890s. Includes
                    biographical information of Frederick Green,
                    Reuben Beningfield and others.

Since it was published before 1970 there is no ISBN, but a Google search for
"Tabler Rhodesia" should find information about second-hand copies etc,

The name "Rhodesia" for what is now Zimbabwe only ceme into general use in
the 1890s, after Rhodes's pioneer column entered the territory, but in the
1911 UK censuses it would not be surprising that people who had been born
there even before that would refer to it as "Rhodeis, isince that was what it
was called in the UK in 1911.

Before 1890 what is now called Zimbabwe was known to outsiders as
Matabeleland and Mashonaland. Matabeleland, in the south west, was ruled by
the Ndebele King Lobnengula, whose father Mzilikazi (alias Moselikatse) had
invaded and conquered it in the 1840s after being driven out of the Transvaal
by a combined force of Voortrekkers, Grikquas and others.

Before 1840 the country was inhabited by people known to outsiders as Shona
or Mashona, who spoke related languages and dialects that have since been
standardised in written form.

Foreigners who visited the area before 1890 were mostly huinters and traders.
There were a few Christian missionaries at the court of Lobengula. Lobengula
was not interested in their religious message, but found them useful as
diplomatic agents and sources of firearms. Some missionaries (like David
Livingstone) opassed through on their way to other places. These missionaries
were mostly from the London Missionary Society, originally
interdenominational, but later largely Congregational. Its successor is the
Council for World Mission, whose web site is:

http://www.cwmission.org.uk/

so if you have missionary ancestors, ask about their archives.

The hunters and traders mostly sold European manufactured goods to the local
people -- knives, axes, firearms, cooking utensils, clothing and blankets and
sometimes alcoholic liquor etc in exchange for ivory, cattle and the like.
They also hunted elephants on their own account.

It was their reports of gold mines that excited the interest of Cecil Rhodes
and his mining magnate friends. The hunters and traders generally knew little
of mining, however, and did not realise that the mines they saw were largely
worked out. They had supported the prosperity of the Mwene Mutapa state a few
centuries earlier, and the exhaustion of the gold mines probably contributed
to its decline.

The hunters and traders lived a wandering life, like gipsies, travelling from
place to place in ox wagons, and occasionally going to towns in what is now
South Africa to sell their ivory and replenish their stocks of imported
goods. The more literate and literary among them contributed articles  papers
to geographical societies and journals (it was mostly these that Tabler used
as sources), for example the "Cape Monthly Magazine". If they were married,
their children were home schooled, and were sometimes baptised en masse on
visits to towns in South Africa, or to mission stations such as those at the
court of Lobengula. If the children got sick, or suffered accidents, there
were only home remedies. There was no "Rescue 911" on call. Some survived
childhood accidents and illnesses (falling off wagons, snakebite, being gored
by oxen, being burnt in fires etc) and others did not.

They came from a variety of backgrounds. Some were shady characters, on the
run from the law in their own countries. Some were in search of adventure or
outdoor life. A few came from wealthy families and had independent means.
They were the "sportsmen" -- those who enjoyed shooting wild animals, not so
much to make a living, but because they regarded it as entertainment. And
most probably fell into it as a way of making a living and carried on doing
it because they managed to survive that way.

So children listed in a UK census in 1911 as having been born in "Rhodesia"
in the 1880s were most probably born to parents who lived that kind of life.

One of the better-known of the "sportsman" variety with independent means and
wealthy families is Frederick Selous - see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Selous

Tabler's book also, however, documents those of humbler origins, about whom
less is known.

Follwing discussions of E.C. Tabler's book "Pioneers of Rhodesia" (mostly on
the South Africa list), I not that E.C. Tabler wrote another book, "Pioneers
of South West Africa and Ngamiland", which is a kind of sequel. He has more
information about some of the same people, and includes a whole lot more
people as well.

I have a copy of that one, and can do lookups if anyone would like me to.

Bear in mind that, like the Rhodesia one, it deals with the PRE-COLONIAL
period, that is, before Germany began colonising what is now Namibia.

I do not have facilities to scan pages, however.

Hi Listers,
I have just entered your circle of friends and I hope to stay with you coz I
have two members of my family who ventured to South Africa and I am having
the
worst time trying to locate any detail for my records. I really need help
with
this lot. I will begin with the eldest brother of my maternal grandmother and
the scandal that made it impossible for me to gain even the vaguest of leads,
"We do NOT discuss such matters!" with the note of finality that makes a
genalogist weep for lost stories.

My grandmother, Madeleine, was an upper-class Londoner raised in an
extremely strict Victorian manner. Her elder brother, Maudslay BAYNES was
born
in 1881 in London, the eldest child of Herbert Morton Walker BAYNES & Isabel
JACKSON. Herbert wrote some 265 papers for religious institutions and several
extremely highbrow books, also on religion. This is probably why three of
their children rebelled, two being banished to South Africa, the third, my
Grandmother being forced to marry her lower class lover and never receiving a
penny of the amassed fortune. Ah, the upper class and their high morals,
would
they survive today, I wonder?

Back to the story in hand...

Supposedly Maudslay attended one of major colleges but I can find no record
of
him at Oxford University where he allegedly absconded with funds from the
Social Club. I am assured that he merely borrowed the moneys and truly did
intend to replace it all before he was caught!!! The social embarressment
this
caused my Grandmother's family must have been just intolerable because
Maudslay was promptly packed off to South Africa "to a relative" to re-adjust
his life etc. etc.

Maudslay got bored with being a Remission man and started trecking the
countryside. He became the first man to map the KUNENE River, from the
Ruacana Falls to the Coastal Desert in 1911. The Germans of Zessfontein were
so impressed with his feat that they named the great & unknown mountainous
range in his honor, hence the BAYNES Mountains can be located on the Kunene
River in Namibia.

Thanks to a distant relative in London I am able to quote from a magazine
story by Randolph Vigne of London who wrote of my Great Uncle when giving his
opinion on a book by L.G.Green, "Lords of the Last Frontier" 1952.

"Maudslay described the place as..."Gloomy and forbidding though it be, the
wild Kunene has a rugged beauty and a clamant attraction where for a hundred
leagues the tortured river writhes and boils through desert mountains to the
sea; sanctuary of the mighty pachyderms, of moon shadows on falling water,
and
silent mountains under a field of stars."

I somehow feel that the love for this place made up for his hasty departure
from the grey misery and stench of London!

My question is what record is there and where do I locate proof of such a
feat? I have found the South African Encyclopedia which has a short paragraph
about Maudslay. This should be enough for my records but I crave more. What
shipping details would be available for a 1911 voyage? Is there other
landmarks, hotels, schools, a town or something built in his honour? How do
the South African history books refer to the BAYNES Mountains? Can anyone
tell
me where to look to gain further insight into the travels of this elusive
Great-Uncle????

Best regards,
Michelle Kahler, North Ipswich, QLD, Aust.

I see that you wrote about this here 10 years ago, but didn't get much
response.

I looked in Google, but only found a number of articles about a hydroelectric
project proposed for the Baynes Mountains.

That would be a REMITTANCE man, not a remission man. A remission man is one
who gets let off his prison sentence early.

Can you give any details about the article - title, date, name of
publication? And the gist of what he said?

I will copy this to the African genealogy forum, since it relates to Namibia
rather than South Africa, and though Namibia was at one time ruled by South
Africa, this appears to be before that time. You can find more about the

I find it interesting because my wfte had ancestors who were in what is now
Namibia, though before this time, so their paths would probably not have
crossed Maudeslay's.

In a couple of day Yahoo!'s Geocities will close down. There's a lot of
genealogical info there, so you might like to have a look while it's still
available.

More info at

http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com/geocities-genealogy-pages/

There are plans to back it up at:

http://archiveteam.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

but I'm not sure how fare those plans have progressed, or whether the
material will be generally available.

Among the material that will be disappearing is a site that I have been
running for the last 12 years, the African Family History Network.

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7783/

Perhaps some history of the site may be of interest.

It was originally the web site of the Computer Interest Group of the
Genealogical Society of South Africa.

I had suggested that the Genealogical Society have a Computer Interest Group
(CIG) when genealogy software began to become widely available in the 1980s,
to advise members who wanted to use computers to keep track of their
genealogy, and to review programs etc.

The Genealogical Society approved of the formation of the CIG in June 1989,
and asked me to be convener, and so i prepared prepared announcements to be
sent out with the newsletter, but the editor of the newsletterr got pretty
nasty and obstructive, and very rudely said he would refuse to send it out
unless it was in both English and Afrikaans, because it was "policy" that the
Society was bilingual. He didn't, however, offer to help with the extra cost.
So, having volunteered my time and money to help members of the society, I
was told that it was unacceptable unless I paid more.

Anyway, we did eventually have a computer interest group, which had its own
newsletter for a while, to share information about genealogy software. We
also started an international genealogy forum on BBS networks, which was the
first ever international computer communication among genealogists -- the
predecessor of mailing lists like this one. And it had its beginn ings on a
humble BBS in Clubview, Centurion. Back in those days all internet traffic
between South Africa and the rest of the world, including the BBS conferences
on Fidonet, went over a dial-up line using 9600 bps modems between Rhodes
University in Grahamstown and Oregon in the USA.

I suppose the Computer Interest Group has now been superseded by EGGSA, which
has its own site, and so I converted the old CIG web site to the African
Family History Network, to widen it to include the whole continent.

Well, that site is closing now too, but its concerns are continuing in the
African Genealogy Forum right here, which is for discussion and exchange of
information on genealogy and family
history in all parts of Africa.

Another thing you can do on the web page is edit your membership.

One of the things you can do there is choose between the "New and improved" and
"Traditional" message formats.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU OPT FOR THE "TRADITIONAL" FORMAT.

The "new and improved" format inserts extraneous HTML codes into messages, which
sometimes makes it difficult to read them. Some of us turn HTML off in our mail
readers, because that is a protection against spam, phishing and virus messages.

If your ancestor was a church minister or missionary, a useful resource may
be the Dictionary of African Christian Biography.

Hi Steve

I am trying to trace one of my great aunts.

I suspect that she married a Dutch Reformed Missionary and vanished into
Africa.

Are there any sources on line which will be able to help.
