South African woman searches for clues to her Shanghai roots
TRACING her family tree, Sue Morrell Stewart found her roots in China’s first English-language newspaper.
The 56-year-old South African teacher came to Shanghai last week to delve into archives of the North China Daily News, which began publication in the city in 1850 and survived for 101 years.
Stewart’s British great-great-grandfather, G. W. Haden, was an editor at the newspaper during the era of the British concession in the late 1800s.
