Pre 1901 Midewest Pioneer Family Register

Geraldton Family History Society Inc launched the Midwest of Western Australia Pre 1901 Pioneer Family Register at the Bill Sewell Complex on the 28th April 2001.

From the society�s website:
The Geraldton Family History Society has embarked upon a major project leading into the new Millennium to create a register of Mid West Pioneer Families who resided in the region up to the year of Federation, January 1901.

The proposed family register will record the names and family details of all those who came to settle in this nominated region or just stayed for a short time, and the first section of this Index will be compiled to include the years up to January 1901. The Index will alphabetically list family units and present a publication that will form a permanent record of early Pioneers. Much information is already available to the public in print or microform records. This project will attempt to collate these details into an attractive and presentable format.

The Mid West region is defined as including the Shires of Carnamah, Chapman Valley, Coorow, Cue, Greenough, Irwin, Meekatharra, Mingenew, Morowa, Mt Magnet, Mullewa, Murchison, Northampton, Perenjori, Sandstone, Three Springs, Wiluna, Yalgoo and the City of Geraldton.
