Greetings! We are currently undergoing a much needed upgrade. The site is functional again but still working on aesthetics.

Welcome to my family genealogy website for the Stewart-de Jaham descendants and ancestors. I'm constantly adding more data to the database but feel free to look around! I know that some information may not be correct and I'm working to get everything as accurate as possible including crediting/identifying sources of information.

A new section, Most Wanted, has been added. Please take time to have a look; maybe you could help me out with some details or even identify someone in an old photograph.

Register for access. All personal information for individuals who are still living is private and viewable only to registered family members. If you are a close family member you may register for this access.

Interesting Reading

• A Brief Record of the Stewarts of Bright in the County of Down in the Province of Ulster: Our Stewart history, written initially in 1964 by Henry and Ann Hilliar (great granddaughter of Charles Stewart) resident of County Down in Northern Ireland.
• A Corner in Ancestors: The Stewart Family: A newspaper article from 1909 detailing history of all Stewart Families.
• de Jaham Letter of Nobility: Awarded in 1774, registered in 1775 in Martinique. Transcription of the French text from the document and English translation.
• The Benjamin Cottrell Report: Following the death of Benjamin Cottrell, his will (dated 1788, proved in 1792) passed ownership of Moseley Hall to his children but there was no proof that he ever owned Moseley Hall. This report searches for facts. It includes several documents and letters, including a few written by the lawyer/researcher to his descendants in Martinique.

Wanted If you have birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, documents of interest, etc., I'm more than interested--those are the best methods of authentication. I am especially interested in documents and information about grandma's family: Uncle D and Aunt Phili, Uncle George and Aunt Cecile, etc. For examples of what I have available, you may want to check this link to documents.
