Monaro Pioneers - Contact us

WELCOME

The Monaro Pioneers : http://www.monaropioneers,com is a history website featuring well over 2100 Pioneer Families. The information is provided by descendents, other interested historians and relevant publications. It is compiled and monitored by a group of very dedicated historians.

Ian Harvey maintains the genealogical data base and manages the website; many other volunteers help out with research and transcriptions etc.

We experience great pleasure in working on the site, and hope you enjoy it too. We look forward to your contributions and involvement. Happy Hunting.

NB PLEASE CONTRIBUTE:
This site has become a very important reference for people researching any aspect of the Eden/Monaro Region.

Please contribute anything you have about your family or about the Monaro. Your material will not be used anywhere else by us.

If you have an established web site about your family, or any relevant aspects of Australian History, we would be very keen to link to that material.

ENQUIRIES ABOUT MATERIAL ON THE SITE

If you wish to know more about a family or subject described on the site, please contact the contributor in the first instance. If this is unsuccessful contact Ian with genealogical questions or corrections and additions.

GENEALOGICAL CONTRIBUTIONS

Ian Harvey now maintains the new Monaro Pioneers Genealogical Database.

The new database currently resides on Ian's computer system, and he uses the Legacy software program to manage it. Ian is dedicated to this project and gives gladly of his time and energy to the site.

To submit new, additional genealogical information or alterations to the family trees please contact Ian.

Our order of preference for the format of genealogical material for submission is
1. Gedcom Files,
2. Text or Word reports,
3. Pdf (They may be published as a pdf, so they shouldn't have any reference to the living),
4. Reports from programs (we usually get them open if we have to, especially if we are told what they are generated from), I prefer photos/graphics etc to be sent separate as .jpg or .tiff files. If you have problems with this let me know. Snail mail gets a very low preference as I can't type fast enough.
