Seychelles National Archives Launch Family Tree Project
The Seychelles National Archives (SNA) in collaboration with the department of Community Development is launching a two-year project which will allow Seychellois to discover their roots and trace their ancestors through the Family Tree Project (FTP).
The purpose of the two-year project is also to sensitise the population on the importance to know one’s family history. Forecasts indicate that most people will have their family tree by 2010.
An exhibition is presently being held at the SNA on the genealogy of Seychellois families in a bid to set the ball rolling.
The Galaxy Computer Services of Victoria donated a new computer to the Seychelles National Archives. The equipment will help the organisation further carry out its research work.Source: African Press Agency

So happy to of come across this site, made building my family tree a heck of a lot easier!
My grandfather was Dr. Louis Constant Daniel Hermitte and I believe he was born in the Seychelles around 1895. I would love to be able to find out more about my family and island connections (relatives). Please contact me back and tell me how this can be done. Thank you.
Daniel Hermitte was my mum's uncle. Mum was born in the Seychelles. I took her there for her 70th birthday and looked at some of her family tree at the National Archive centre in Port Victoria on Mahe. There is a hospital ward ( named after Dr. Dan as Mum called him) in the hospital in Port Victoria called Hermitte ward. He also worked at Sheffield Royal Infirmary in England for a number of years. He was quite famous and well thought of I believe-was very knowledgeable about lots of different diseases and apparently had a great collection of shells for which he was also well known!
