All meetings to be held in the PASA office on the specified

The 7 ships chosen for the 2020 programme all arrived in 1840.
The first meeting on 12 February will be primarily for those who are planning to do ships'
research and data entry.
There will be a question and answer session to clarify details of how we are collecting and
collating. The Research Help meeting in November will be primarily for members whose ancestors
arrived in 1840 and need help with finding resources.If you would like to express your interest in being part of this project, then please contact
