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]
By 1969, the family's alleged eminence had waned, with only one person of the name- dry goods merchant Edward George Ziadie- appearing in that year's Who's Who in Jamaica, detailing the "Careers of Principal Public Men and Women of Jamaica", alongside an advertisement for a real estate company, "Victor Ziadie Realty".[10]
