Hello, I am Kelvin turning 26years come July 2016. I am searching for my Dad, my Mum passed away the year 2000, she had not told me anything about him since I was still a kid. I came to know later a few of his details: Name :Mwangi Muturi, used to work in a certain bank at Nairobi in the years 1990-1991. Something else i didn't get well "2332" I don't know whether it was a telephone number or some kind of an address. If anyone has any ideas please give me some lead to him.... am the only child to my Mum and I will be glad to at last meet my dad.
I suggest contacting the Bank where he worked, they may have records. You could also try Face-book. Good luck :) Peter.

Dear Sir or Madam, I am hoping you can help me. We are going through our family album and history at the moment and I don't have much information on my Dad, William George Matheson (known as Billy). He was born in 1933 and I don't know too much about his time in the Kenya Regiment. I know he served with the Kenya Regiment, but I don't know when, where or for how long and would love to piece this information together. Sadly my father passed away in 1997 and I never had the chance to capture this information when he was alive. Thank you very much for your time and what a wonderful website.

I went to Kilimani Primary School from 1957-1962, recently my mum handed me some old 'things' that she had taken out of my school uniform bush jacket pockets before they went into the dhobi. Amongst others, a very faded list of names on a 'matrix' which I recall referred to 'love charts' or popularity lists ; all the boys names across the top, all the girls names down the side, and with about 30 in the class, the boys had to rank the 15 girls, respectively the girls, the boys. all now very socially incorrect, but we were very young. either by memory or just about legible are : Wendy Periam, Gillian Ruby, Gillian Garside, Margaret Lea, Sheila Matheson, G..Thatcher , Giovanna la Magna, Rainier Westenberg, Roger Cullen, Nigel Clifford, Neil Macdonald, Adrian Searle, John Harrisson , David Gault, Michael Rose, John Dall..more, David Morrison, ... must have been 1962ish.

About 4 generations of my family lived in Kenya and very recently we wanted to do something about my great grandparents' grave in Nairobi which had become derelict. I googled and found an article in http://allafrica.com/stories/201409191517.html which described Chris Rapasi (I took out a temp membership so I could get hold of the whole article) who had built up a small business restoring and maintaining graves for families and diaspora. We made contact and, after some negotiation, settled on a price which we felt was reasonable and a restoration plan. The job was done and we've just received Chris' photos of the finished work. It is exactly what we asked for. The cemetery is close to Nairobi central park and there are a large number of graves looking very uncared for (there's a military/ex war graved sectioned off which is in excellent order by contrast). Chris would be very interested to hear from anyone who might have family buried there and who would like to see their grave(s) restored and hopefully the area made visit able again. He thinks it might be possible to attract the attention of the powers that be to make the cemetery more secure and cared for. There must be a lot of history there! Chris can be contacted at his email address: crapasi@gmail.com. I've suggested Chris creates a website or at least a Facebook site so people can see pictures of his work. I hope this is helpful to others like us. Ros

I lived with my parents, Brenda and Nicholas Hayne-Upson, on a farm near Kimini (Kitale), from ca. 1954 til 1962, when I was sent to the UK. I briefly attended school in Kitale in 1962 (aged 9).
I have a brother one year younger than myself. My mother, then Brenda Hayne, lived at Arash around 1947 to 1952, when she married my father and they went to Ireland. She attended Loretto Convent for a couple of years ca. 1947. My father, also known as Dennis, met my mother in Kenya, when he was visiting a friend in the Subukia area (only known to me as Totty), having been with the British army in Aden. Nicholas was sent to the UK in (?) 1962 to lobby the Foreign Secretary on behalf of the East African Farmers' Union, and did not return to Kenya.
My grandparents, Raymond and Rachel Hayne, lived on a farm at Arash, Subukia. Raymond (nickname Tishy), b. 1900, went to Kenya (from Tunbridge Wells in the UK) ca. 1930, initially (I think) in the East African Rifles, and then as a District Commissioner, before setting up the farm at Arash. Rachel (nee Simpson) also came from Tunbridge Wells. Raymond and Rachel left Kenya in the early 1960s and lived near Cardigan, Wales. A great friend of theirs was huntsman with the local foxhounds, and was my godfather. I long ago lost touch with him and he is presumably now deceased.
I would be interested to hear from anyone who knew any of these people, or who were in any of the areas mentioned around the times indicated. I currently live in South Africa.

Have just found your website whilst looking up Westlands school in Nairobi. Memories of my wonderful time in Kenya were rekindled as I recently found my school badge from those days. Dad migrated to Kenya from the UK in 1953 followed by Mum and I in 54. Dad worked in the Engineering Dept EAR&H, and Mum worked for a while as a typist at the Army camp before moving to the Police in Nairobi. After Westlands I had to attend Delamare as both the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York were outside our zone. Ultimately I was sent back to boarding school in England as I was not doing too well at the High school. It is terrific finding this site and will spend a good deal of time trawling through the guest pages.

My sister, Susan & I went to the Mombasa Convent then to the Eldoret Convent, where I completed Std 10. I fondly remember the "school train" from Mombasa to Eldoret, but especially to Nairobi (I wonder why!!? Maybe the boys were on that section).
