My name is Christopher Patrick Ziadie, son of Dennis Patrick Ziadie, grandson of Vernon F. Ziadie and the great grandson of Assad Ziadie who apparently was one of 5 of 6 "Ziadie" brothers that migrated from Lebanon to Jamaica in the early 1900's.
It is humourously alleged that in addition to many other Jamaican families of Middle Eastern descent, these 5 "Jamaican" Ziadie brothers and their respective families boarded a ship destined for the United States of America. However, after traversing the seas for many days and nights, the ship eventually docked at a port in Jamaica where they all disembarked and rejoiced when the Captain announced, "WELCOME TO AMERICA".
The question I was trying to determine was who were the other 4 brothers. I was informed by my uncle, Edward George Ziadie, son of Solomon Ziadie, that the other 4 brothers were George, Deeb, Isaac and Tewfik. However, the sixth brother, Michael, remained in Lebanon.
Anyway, the original 5 "Jamaican" brothers were:-
ASSAD, GEORGE, DEEB, ISAAC and TEWFIK but I'm not sure in what order except that Tewfik was apparently the youngest of the five.
With the help of many Ziadie descendants from the various original brothers that have contacted me, I have been able to build a very big tree with approximately 190 Ziadies.
If you want to view the Family Tree of our Patriarch, Faris Ziadie, simply click the PATRIARCH FARIS ZIADIE link below and you will be taken to a page that displays the tree.
The tree should have a background colour that is a light shade of orange or pink.
To see a list of all individuals in the tree so far, you can do the following once on that page:-
Move the "pointer" into an area of the tree.
When the "pointer" is there, on your "mouse", Right Click (not the regular Left Click).
A small box will appear that shows, (Find, Zoom in, Zoom out and Help)
Click, "Find".
A list of all persons in the tree will be displayed.
You can scroll down the list to see particulars of each person that I have been able to get some amount of information on. Some of it includes information such as: Birth and Death dates, Parents, Husbands, Wives and a Line showing which of the 5 original brothers each Ziadie listed can trace their roots to.
To see the Tree of a particular person in the list, highlight the person's name and press the "Apply" button.
Please feel free to contact me at the email address below so that I can continue to update the tree as accurately as I can and to make any necessary adjustments where you may have determined that an error has occured.
