Australia / Re: Passenger List - 1855 voyage "Malacca" Chile to Adelaide
« on: Tuesday 03 December 24 22:29 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,
I am Chilean Australian architect and researcher in Canberra. I am researching (searching) for a Chilean migrant who settled in the Canberra region in 1860s Rupelto (Roberto) Rodrigues (Rodriges or Rodgers). From his naturalization papers he mentioned arriving to Australia on the Malacca in 1854. I can't find him in any archives in SA. He and another Chilean Eusebio Ponce (Ponsey) brought pise (rammed earth) construction to the region and some of the homesteads, cottages and huts still remain today. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Fernando
