Resources about early settlers in Auckland Province
Roll of early settlers and descendants in the Auckland Province to the end of 1852.
The compilation of a Roll of early settlers of the Auckland Province was undertaken as a Centennial effort and entrusted to the Early Settlers and descendants sub-committee of the Auckland Provincial Centennial Council. The roll contains the names (so far as these have been able to be ascertained) of all persons (other than members of the Maori Race) who settled or were born in the Province before the end of 1852.
The Roll is set out in three columns.
1. Name and life period.
2. Vessel and date of arrival in New Zealand or first known place of residence
3. If born in New Zealand.
This volume is available at a number of libraries in New Zealand. Over a number of years Auckland City Libraries have been augmenting and correcting this publication. It is strongly recommended that you consult the heavily annotated version, a copy of which is on the shelf in the Auckland Research Centre at 2 NZL SET AKD
