About the Book<\/h3>\n\n

County Cavan, Ireland has been the home to the Rountree and Coleman Families at least since the early 1700s. But like so many of the Irish of that period, our ancestors decided to emigrate and pursue better opportunities and lives in the colonies. Some went to North America. Others went to Australia. And in a period of six years (1862\u20131868), the members of Rountree \u2014 Coleman families braved the arduous and dangerous journey, via England, to the Canterbury Province in New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n

They travelled on four sail powered Clipper ships \u2014 Zealandia, Brother\u2019s Pride, Ivanhoe <\/em>and Light Brigade<\/em>. One ship had a smooth and mostly uneventful voyage. The other three were infamous because of the number of deaths from disease, poor hygiene and bad management, or the terrible weather they endured for most of their journey.<\/p>\n\n

Despite this tragic start to their new lives, these two pioneering families settled into their new home. In time, they were joined by other family members from County Cavan, as well as people from other areas of Ireland, England, Europe and elsewhere. Some descendants have been back home to visit family and explore where it all began. Others continued to pursue new opportunities in the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, North America, and Asia.<\/p>\n\n

Nearly 160 years have passed since those first four life-changing voyages. The New Zealand Rountree \u2014 Coleman family tree is now eight generations deep. This book follows on from \u201cIt\u2019s a Long Way From County Cavan\u201d by Dallas Rountree and Jo Noble (Volume One)<\/a>. It\u2019s a social and genealogical history, and includes contributions from over 100 cousins with approximately 900 photographs illustrating the lives and memories of our pioneering ancestors and their descendants.<\/p>\n\n
