Genealogy / Is Wajman or Wayman a Polish name? [15]
This is what my farther has told me..
The story goes our ancestors who were Polish, opened the Clare Valley in SA to wine
No don't know what part of Poland - but would say it was an area suitable for wine growing - the Australianisation of the surname is "Wayman".
From the Web site for Annies Lane Wine:
Annie Wayman was a legend in the Clare Valley. She could always be relied upon to bring along sandwiches and a warm drink to harvesters and pruners in the vineyard at the turn of the 20th century. One evening, Annie's horse and cart got bogged in a lane adjacent to one of the valley's best vineyards. Thus, Annie's Lane was born.
Annie' s Lane is now one of the finest wineries in Australia's renowned Clare Valley and represents the finest vineyards in one of South Australia's great regions. The Annie's Lane wines rely on regional and varietal expression and have been awarded with over 350 trophies and medals at wine shows in Australia and across the globe since the first release in 1996. The most successful of all the wines has been the super-premium Copper Trail Shiraz.
The home of Annie's Lane is the heritage listed Quelltaler winery at the heart of Watervale, in the Clare Valley's south. Quelltaler is the region's oldest and most important winery, dating back to 1863.
By chance I am now living and working in Poland. My polish friends say my ancestors where probably Nobel Polish Jews that made wine.
I will be finding out more.
