Search for Early Settlers
You can search the Nelson Provincial Museum Early Settlers Database to find information
about your ancestors who arrived by sea in the years 1841 to 1850 to settle in the
Nelson Region. This information is based on original NZ Company Passengers To Nelson
manifests and shipping lists published in The Nelson Examiner newspaper 1841-1850. The
resources used to create this database can be accessed at the Museum's Research
Facility if you would more information please contact

While all due care and attention to detail has been taken, because of the passage
of time, some records may be incomplete or inaccurate.
