It was accumulated over a 30 year period, and collated by Noeline Penny for the Palmerston North Branch of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists. The collection also aims to list all published information about these families, including booklets, newspaper articles etc. ++**What is the scope of this collection?**++ Initially it was intended to include families living in Palmerston North and its immediate farming environs, in the period 1875-1900.
