Otago Settlers Museum
Don't know how recent this website is but I came across it the other day &
thought it might be of interest if anyone has ancestors who emigrated to this part of NZ. Mine are there in all their glory - pin-sharp pics of each along with biographical notes containing quite a lot that was new to me:- [email protected] |

Here is the link http://www.toituosm.com/
Otago is known as the Scotland of the South so if you have Scots ancestors who came to New Zealand it would be a good place to start looking.

Went there when I was in NZ in Nov but unfortunately my lot were slightly too late to be included in the first settlers info.

I emailed the museum to say how interesting I found it & they passed on my comments to
the person who had provided family info. I've now had an email from him along with some great pics & an offer of further details. Isn't that great? |
