For those searching ancestors in Ceylon. both Europeans, or locals...you may find them listed in "Fergusons Directories" at the following website.. where I found my Scottish and Aussie ancestors..
www.historyofceylontea.com
Look for the General Directory...and search each page for what you want...
You need to have a lot of patience, because each directory is PACKED with lots of information 8) 8)
Information about residents and their occupations and addresses...Planters, plantations etc etc..
Some of the earlier Directories include passenger arrivals and departures...Deaths etc..
This is an ongoing website where more and more directories are being scanned and added...
Enjoy... ;D ;D
