Ziadie family

The Ziadie family is a family residing in Jamaica, where they were prominent merchants. A branch of the family now resides in the United States and its members have become successful horse trainers.[1][2] They are the descendants of half a dozen Greek Orthodox brothers who emigrated from Lebanon.[3]

Lady Colin Campbell, previously Georgia Ziadie,[4] is descended from this family through her father, department store owner[5] Michael George Ziadie.[6][7] She claims that the Ziadies are a wealthy and well-known family in Jamaica.[8] The opera director Sir Peter Jonas was her cousin.[9]
