MILLER GENEALOGY
Much of this is also covered under MILLERS IN SOUTH AFRICA. For the following I found both Norma van As's book, Small World and the 1820 Settlers website very useful. However they give little information of where the Millers originated from in England nor why they emigrated.

Again I have been selective in showing which family members led to my own ancestors. Those names most relevant to me are in bold.
