21.01.2022 I am alarmed and unhappy with a scamster who has impersonated me several times and tried to obtain funds several times from our South Coast Chapter of the Fellowship of First Fleeters recently - be very aware of this person using the email address [email protected] - he has also tried to scam the Botany Bay Chapter of the Fellowship of First Fleeters

20.01.2022 We are entering a controversial period, the 250th anniversary of James Cooks first Pacific voyage, which will generate a range of perspectives on Cook. There will be a number of books for reading - heres a trio of historical fiction on James Cook from New Zealander Graeme Lay. Ive read some reviews of his books which seem to be mostly positive with a few negative.

20.01.2022 Hi - A request for descendants of First Fleeter Peter Hibbs who have done DNA testing - do you have DNA matches with Hibbs descendants but who are not descendants of Peter Hibbs ? ie with English Hibbs descendants or with Americans who have Hibbs ancestors who lived in Pennsylvania and/or Virginia and/or Gloucestershire? I'd appreciate any feedback. thanks in advance Kerrie Anne Christian (Admin)

17.01.2022 Tonight we watched a repeat of Series 9 of Who Do You Think You Are ? featuring First Fleet descendant Natalie Imbruglia discovering her ancestor John Bryant/Ryan who arrived on the Friendship in 1788 and then sent to Norfolk Island on the Sirius in 1790. I felt the episode provided glimpses of what some of our own FF ancestors experienced

03.01.2022 Covid-19 Update from Board of Directors ofFellowship of First Fleeters Due to ever changing health restrictions it is unlikely that First Fleet House will be open very often, if at all, over the next few months. Postal mail and email will be dealt with as usual, although there may be some delays in our responses depending on the availability of our volunteers.... Our returning of calls on the answering machine cannot be guaranteed. We will post notifications as soon as the services at First Fleet House return to normal. Please stay safe in these challenging times In Fellowship
