Est. 1881 · A living family archive

From a single ship to seven generations.

In November 1881, Lowhur and Jeelabia stepped off an indentured ship into Natal — carrying nothing but each other and a name. Today their descendants number 1,786 across four continents. This is where we keep the stories.
