Title: SA list of early arrivals attending Col. Light memorial 1906
Post by: maggbill on Saturday 12 April 25 04:56 BST (UK)

Just saw this on a Facebook post.  It is a Trove newspaper article dated 1906 regarding the Colonel Light memorial ceremony.  It  gives a list of attendees who were the very early SA arrivals in Adelaide - names dates of arrival and names of ships.  Could be of great interest to some people I think.   https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/163080580?searchTerm=%E2%80%9CRobert+Forrest+adelaide%E2%80%9D&fbclid=IwY2xjawJmwm9leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHt_JXumoc_RSv8iDKqhZmna8qxft5_ZlnIbOvTUQumK4ypZ_s4K5h9CS43WC_aem_OPM1K52GnwLyDEeTNUea2g

Hi.
Thanks for that.
I have bookmarked it for future reference.

South Australia is not abundant in resources for genealogy searches and the listing may be very useful  to those seeking arrival dates for ancestors.

Thankyou, as Sue says, potentially very useful.  :D
