The Pioneer Register

• The aim of the Pioneer Register is to provide an index and a file of information about the Pioneers of the Fleurieu Peninsula area (see below) from 1836 – 1900. This is available for those using the Resource Room for family history research.

• It is a project for all members to be involved in by either contributing relevant family information from their own family or by participating in the “Adopt-a-Pioneer” program.

• The files are kept in a filing cabinet in the Resource Room in the second drawer from the top and on top of the filing cabinet is a box with index cards which can be used to determine if a person you are looking for is in the file. Later in the year a data base will also be available in the room’s computers as well.

• Information can be any form. We have family group sheets available for use in either hard copy or in word file. Photos, articles etc from Trove or elsewhere about the person are also welcome.

• Ask any Project committee member if you wish to make a contribution or to research anyone from the “Adopt-a-Pioneer” list. They are Kath Fisher or Judy Dowling.
