HI Gregory,
For what it's worth and so much has changed since then, in 1994
1. I got immense help about 1900/6 Northern Rhodesia from the National
Archives at Harare. Mrs Violet Matangira searched and found much information
about my father-in-law, a trader based at Kasempa
2.A remarkable book by Robin Short called "African Sunset" pub. London 1973
ISBN 0 85307 123 3 gives a great deal of information about those early
colonial government people. Short now lives in Jersey and wrote to me.
3. "A History of Early Northern Rhodesia - Early Days to 1953" by L.H.Gann.
Chatto and windus 1964 gives excellent background.
4. My attempts to contact anyone actually in Zambia, even through Rotary
failed utterly. My only success was from the mission at Ikelongwe, but that
was only by direct contact with a nurse at the hospital who was going back
after her leave.
Good luck
Pat
