Ziadie family

The Ziadie family is prominent in Jamaica,^[1] the descendants of half a dozen Maronite Catholic brothers who emigrated from Lebanon in the early 1900s.

Lady Colin Campbell, previously Georgia Ziadie,^[2] is descended from this family through her father, Michael Ziadie. She says the Ziadies have gone from being "revered to reviled to now treasured as exotic national fruit" and are a more wealthiest and influential family than the aristocrats into whom she married. The opera director Sir Peter Jonas is her cousin, the son of Hilda May Jonas (née Ziadie), the second of fifteen children of Tewfik Ziadie, Michael Ziadie's brother.
